Best Answer

As far as with PADI, there are minimum age age limit of 18 to become a PADI Professional (Divemaster or higher).

Upper limits? None, as long as you are in good enough health to pass a medical examination.

Other agencies, I'm not sure and other diving professions I'm not sure, sorry!

I think it depends on several things. The age of the child, how adapted to water the child is, if they can swim, and how well they listen to directions. I would call a scuba school and ask them. They may have an age limit.


What is the age limit on scuba diving?

9 - 12 depending on the agency you are certified by such as PADI or NAUI. PADI I believe is 9, but in my opinion is not as thorough on teaching safety skills. NAUI is 12 and is what my son was certified by. There's alot to be aware of while diving to keep you safe and your diving partner safe. The more thorough your training, the better off you'll be and the better your diving experiences will be.

When should one not learn scuba dive?

most training agencies suggest that SCUBA be taught after 9years of age and should not be engaged in for one is a heavy smoker or has respiratory problems. Scuba is a high stress anaerobic activity. Anyone at risk of heart disease or arterial sclerosis should not participate. This is not medical advice. Please consult a doctor before engaging in SCUBA diving. also: if they don't want to.... too many divers start SCUBA diving to be with somebody they care for, (husband, girlfriend, etc) but have no desire to actually SCUBA dive.

Can you scuba dive at 9?

Technically you can scuba dive at any age, as long as you are comfortable doing it. There are however, a few issues that arise with very young scuba divers. Finding scuba equipment for a very small body frame can sometimes be difficult. It also depends on the environment you'll be scuba diving in. Clear waters are much easier than a murky lake or pond. Weak swimmers can also have difficulty navigating waterways with a strong current.

The minimum age limit with PADI to get a certification card that allows you to go diving in open water (instead of a pool) is age 10 although there are some limitations on depth etc. that are in place until the age of 15 where a full Open Water Diver certification can be obtained.
