Like any proud parent, I wanted to brag a bit. Sunday saw my 12 year old getting certified. She was one of two students the (hand picked) instructor was running through checkout dives and from what I saw (I stayed in the general area on the first three and accompanied them on the fourth), she did okay.
She's already expresed an interest in cave diving as long as "they aren't really tight caves, those are scary."
And for the record, I consider her as safe a diver as any insta-buddy.
Now to give her a few fun dives before continuing her education into buoyancy, air sharing, mask clearing, toxing diver, etc. Too bad she can't take DIR-F until she's 16.
