I have an 11 year that was OW certified last summer. In the research I have done about the potential risks (not including any accidents, etc.) of diving on developing kids, it seems pretty split that it's either safe or there could be issues with built up nitrogen in the tissues and a child's growth plates. If that is the main concern, wouldn't using higher mixes of oxygen help alleviate some of that potential risk? Unless of course there's some other risk such as kids are more susceptible to oxygen toxicity or something.
So outside of her diving a mix "she" wasn't trained for, are there any risks for a child diving 36% to 40-45 fsw (bottom, not on a wall or Bluewater) 1-2 dives max?
