WHAT IS THE AGE REQUIREMENT FOR SCUBA CERTIFICATION?
NAUI REQUIRES THAT A STUDENT BE AT LEAST 10 YEARS OF AGE. WE (UVA) REQUIRE THAT A STUDENT UNDER THE AGE OF 15 HAVE A PARENT WITH THEM IN THE CLASS AT ALL TIMES. STUDENTS UNDER THE AGE OF 15 ARE ISSUED A JUNIOR CERTIFICATION THAT ALLOWS THEM TO DIVE WITH AN ADULT. JUNIOR CERTIFICATION TRANSFERS TO BASIC CERTIFICATION WHEN THE STUDENT TURNS 18. THERE IS NO UPPER AGE LIMIT.
