PADI Junior Open Water Diver

Children aged between 10 and 15 will get a PADI Junior Open Water Diver certificate. This certificate allows children of 10 and 11 years old to dive with either a certified parent or guardian or a PADI professional to a maximum depth of 12 metres. This is also their maximum depth during the course.

Children of 12 to 15 years old are, after certification, allowed to dive with a certified adult or PADI professional to a maximum depth of 18 metres. 

The PADI Junior Open Water Diver certificate will change automatically to a PADI Open Water Diver certificate when the child becomes 15 years old.
