PADI Junior Open Water Diver
Children between the ages of 10 – 15 can take the Junior Open Water Diver course. The course structure and teaching materials are the same as the Open Water course for adults, but more attention is given to young divers, both during theory and pool lessons.
The course consists of 5 theory lessons (incl. exam) and 5 pool lessons. In addition, we make 4 dives in open water in the Netherlands. The planning of a Junior Open Water Diver course is always made together with the parents so that the program, in combination with school assignments and other sports, does not become too busy for the child. After all, the course should be as enjoyable as possible for everyone!
The progress of the lessons is regularly discussed with the parents so that they are always aware of the progress. If necessary, additional lessons can be scheduled. Certified Junior Open Water divers up to 15 years of age have a depth restriction due to age; they may dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
