Took the 11 year old to a discover scuba class yesterday and he loved it. Time to start getting back in the water!

So you never said, "here watch this"?Ordinarily I would have to agree with you, But Not after watching "When Sharks Attack" on Shark Week (ch 197 on DISH). I think I'll just stay in the boat and leave it to you brave souls.
Who said he can only dive those depths? A book? A dive card? An instructor? He can dive as deep as he is able and you are comfortable, although there's nothing wrong with diving shallow water as he learns. A 70' dive is no different than a 60' dive, except for 10' and less bottom time.Oh it's fun the danger is the exciting part; still much more likely to get hurt on the drive down. This morning at breakfast he was asking me to give him scenarios so he could work through the dive profiles.
The most difficult part will be finding places to dive since he can only dive in 40 feet for the next 6 months and then only 60 feet for the following 2 years.
I'm thinking I'll be spending a bunch of time in Crystal River.
Sitting here looking at my old Dacor Chameleon BC and regs wondering if I can nurse another 5 years out of it so my son can get new gear LOL.
