Humm
Well I have several thoughts/questions here are a few, Knowing that the PADI Seal Team has been wonderful for my son who is on track to be certified by his 10th birthday, in December.
A childs mind or a childs body?
Do they understand the issues?
Can they handle the Equipment?
Would they be able to help you, in a emergency?
After watching my son in a pool with other children even the other parents were impressed on his skills; There was a fun time when a few Dads joined the kids in the deep end, I took the chance and came up from behind my son, grabbed his tank holding him in place, hidding from his view after a few minutes let him go... after the dive I asked him if anything was strange about that dive, his response was that his new "Tilos" fins didn't work to well.
When he finally gets certified will I dive with him? Why of course!! but only to the level of his skills and my own ability to dive alone,
though when we go to San Carlos on our dive trip, we will do so in a 3-way buddy team of some sort.
There are idiots and there are people who think, no age requirement for being either.
By the time my Child does get certified I trust he will remember to put on his fins after he gets in the water
