If the child is good in the water and is really motivated to get certified, then where is the issue?
The material is not that difficult and the child will be HIGHLY motivated to learn some physics, applied math, some anatomy, physiology, some oceanography and maybe a little biology and ecology. If he is successful he will also develop some personal responsibility and discipline and the respect for natural consequences may one day save his life. So what if he struggles, this is an incredibly valuable opportunity for the child to learn!
