What is the minimum age to become a certified diver?
The minimum age is a hotly debated issue at present. Some certifying agencies will accept students as young as 8 years old. At Mikes Dive Center, we are adhering to the previous minimum age limit of 12 years old. Since diving requires a great degree of maturity in order to make quick decisions during an emergency, we feel that it is in the best interests of our divers to maintain the minimum age limit at 12.
