My 10 years old little girl is certified

[Wisnu]

After waiting for more than 2 years finally she's certified for Padi Jr. OW at Tulamben, Bali, Indonesia.
She had logged more than 30 ocean bubble makers; really help her on practice, it's easy task for her. But, for theory, she need more than a month to completely read the PADI OW book; her sister help her lot to understand the book.
All four us now certified divers.

Melati and her Instructor - Ricardo Thom from Ocean Sun; he's very good instructor. I highly recommend Ricardo if you take Padi course in Tulamben, Bali.

Very cool, I had my boys in the water when they were that age as well.

Congrats to your daughter. My son was certified at 10 and just turned 12 last week. Made his first dive below 40ft. Daughter is now 10 and reading the PADI OW book. The biggest issue is finding gear for her. The Aqualung Wave jr is about the only BCD that will fit her.
