I think this sums everything up...for me anyway. I love to see the kids learning young to enjoy scuba and gain skills. The answer, It Depends, I think is what it's all aboutdaylight once bubbled...
The "Should kids dive?" question is like religion and politics. The best answer I've seen is "It depends". I've observed situations where Certified parents and children are all liabilities and scare me just seeing them in the water. On the other hand, I've seen Mom, Dad and the Kids function as a highly skilled dive team.
I approach Scuba Rangers from a different perspective than students wanting to become certified divers.
It's all fun.
Just my $.02.
