Hi all,
Is the c-card for kids different for kids aged 12+ than 10-11 years old?
My 11-year-old son just finished his PADI OW pool work and e-learning and is going to do his checkout dives while we're on vacation in the tropics next week. He turns 12 the following week.
If so, I wonder if there is a way he can get his OW card instead of a Jr. OW card if the paperwork can be delayed by a week. I don't want to pay for a card that is inaccurate by the time it arrives.
I should have asked for clarification on the rule, which I believe is that if you have a Jr. Open Water certification, then you automatically become an open water diver when you reach the appropriate birthday. I'm not sure if that's 12 or 15.
Thanks in advance
