Hi,
My daughter and I got certified last year for OWD plus got a few additional dives in. She was 12 so qualified as Junior Open Water. This summer we are going to be diving again and have the possibility to go for Advanced OWD.
The question is, she is 13 and according to the PADI syllabus, the AOWD requires 5 dive disciplines, 3 are optional but 2 of them are mandatory, underwater navigation and deep water.
However, as I understand it she is not eligible to do the deep dive until at least 15 years old.
I read in one website that she might be able to do the deep dive but limited to 21 meters, whereas I can go to 30 meters.
Can anyone clarify please??
