I have a question that will probably start a war. i was on the dive boat last night and a friend had his son on the boat. I asked if he was certified and his Dad said he wants him to wait until he is grown (age 15 or older). Another Instructor chimed in that he doesnt believe kids should be certified because research isnt sure of the effects of pressure on kids' bones. These divers are very respected divers who have become friends so it was more of an information discussion. I was wondering if anyone had any information on this subject. My son is almost 13 and he is AOW. He is starting to dive alot and I don't want him to have any growth problems.
So what does everyone think?
