*Scuba Divers between the ages of 10 & 14 will earn the rating of Jr. Open Water Scuba Diver and will be limited to diving with a Parent / Guardian or PADI Professional and will be depth limited to 12m. On their 15th birthday (without doing any further training), they will automatically become full PADI Open Water Scuba Divers, and all restrictions will be lifted. Although no further training is officially required, we would suggest either doing our Junior to Adult diver upgrade (where we take them on an informal deep dive to 18m) or the Advanced Open Water Course, where they will experience depths up to 30m in a controlled and supervised manner.
