My almost 12-year-old son is very excited about SCUBA. We will be in Boynton Beach, FL from Dec. 22 through Jan 2 and I'd like him to get his Junior Open Water certification. If anyone can recommend an instructor, I would appreciate it. Agency doesn't matter as long as they don't teach on their knees. A private or semi-private class is fine.
If you are an instructor who is wary of kids, my son is 5'6" and a good swimmer, including with mask and fins. He's been through the SSI Science of Diving online course with me so he knows the theory and he would do the online stuff before we get there. FWIW, he's a sailor (he's sailing a 420 on Lake Michigan in the snow as I write this), so he can handle a bit of adversity without falling apart.
