Hi. I’m a longtime (though unfortunately not recently) diver taking my just-turned-seven-year-olds snorkeling for the first time in 2020. Seeking recommendations please for the best snorkels for their comfort. Obviously purge valve at the bottom and some sort of splash protection on top. Saw...

When I was 10yrs old (I’m 14 now) I got vintage smoothskin beavertail wetsuit from my grandad as a gift because he used to be a scuba diver. It lasted me until I was 13 surprisingly, mainly because I haven’t grown so much but the beavertail was getting to tight for comfort and he suit was...

This isn't really a scuba question but I couldn't find the "Kid's" forum. Does anyone know of a good qualify fin for kids? I'm thinking of something with a somewhat flexible fin, a comfortable foot pocket, and an adjustable heel strap so they might fit for a few years. I found some that...

My 11 year old and I are thinking of heading down to CR (Pacific side) for a few weeks in March. He is a solid little diver but only has about 10 dives and his age limits him to 40 feet. Are there dives worth doing around Catalina Islands or Cano?

Hi divers! I am working on a series of products that help children to expand their knowledge of diving and ocean conservation at the age at which they are likely to learn to dive. This is to enable them to make better informed decisions and to learn from the start how to be a safe and...
