No. of dives 3-5 dives

Kids who have qualified as PADI Junior Open Water Divers can continue their scuba diving training with PADI and it can be tailor made according to personal interests. Young divers can choose from an extensive list of Adventure Dives such as Peak Performance Buoyancy (the best diving skill to learn for kids and adults alike!), Fish ID, Naturalist and Photography – all from age 10 years, Drift, Search and Recovery and Nitrox from age 12 years and, from age 15, young divers can take part in the wreck adventure dive.
Complete three Adventure Dives and get certified as a PADI Junior Adventure Diver; if five Adventure Dives are completed, including Deep and Navigation, the PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification is achieved.
Young divers, up to the age of 16 years, must always dive with an adult certified diver. Junior Divers aged 10 & 11 are limited by depth considerations and restricted in the dives that they can participate in.
