Hey folks my wife and I diddn't have a TV for awhile so we have a bunch of kids
8,10.12.13 and 15.
They are all keen swimmers/snorklers.
The older kids are doing a Kids DSD dive to see how they feel and then junior OW if they are happy and competent.
This leaves the 8 year old.
Where we are planning to do this diving we have access to a sheltered lagoon that at its very deepest is 2.0m deep but mostly 1.5m.
I did think to give him a taste of what diving scuba was about that I could take him out and he and I surface swim and he breaths using my octi then mayee a sink to the bottom when its 1.0m . Given it is shallow and calm water that I can stand up in if he's not happy or is getting into trouble.
Other than the risk to his ears of diving is there reason not to do this?
Please don't flame me here guys -The very reason I'm asking the question is that I don't ever want to put my kids in undue risk.
