For Junior OW divers the dives may be conducted between six and 18 metres. You will find this information in your S&P manual.

Thanks Steve. BTW, the extra 20ft is nice for young divers vs other agencies. Granted, the extra 20ft can be dangerous, but I would argue the well trained and "mature" 10 year old is safer at 60ft than one not so prepared at 40ft. 40ft can be somewhat limiting in some areas.

Is it typical for a dive operation to respect the limits imposed by the divers certifying agency vs their own standard for a given cert level?
