I was torn about discussing this story with my recently certified son, but the potential benefit from discussing this incident with him won out over preserving his view of the world.
to summarize the conversation
Would you ever go diving in a cave?
A: No
What about just inside where you can still see the way out?
A: I already said no
What if we were diving together and I went in?
A: You're screwed
There was more to it than that, but even a 10 year old, when taught about the dangers around them can make the right choice. Maybe there should be a course on how to be a parent.
