Here at SEA Divers Scuba, we love being a part of the early stages of a scuba divers journey! Starting your child as a junior Open Water diver is an amazing investment that instills so much more than a title as a scuba diver. As we teach others how to scuba dive, we are also teaching more people about the beautiful world beneath the surface that we must protect and preserve for future generations to come! How exciting to start your child on this amazing project! As a Junior Open Water Diver, the fun doesn’t stop there. There’s a whole list of specialty and core courses kids can access, depending on their age. For instance, they could learn how to:
these courses can be found in our specialty courses tab above.
What's better than your child learning a new skill/hobby? Learning with them so that you can explore The underwater world together! The beautiful memories you make together will last a lifetime and the adventure never stops! Diving is a social hobby and you always need Dive buddies, here’s the perfect opportunity for a built in Dive Buddy!
If you are planning on getting Open Water Certified with your child who is getting Junior open water certified, send us a message to let us know ahead of time so we can make sure you get the 10% discount!
***(Course cost is $600 total, but can be paid in two separate payments. The e-learning fee is due upfront. The remaining balance is due prior to the first dive. The all inclusive fee covers ALL rental equipment, Unlimited Air fills, instruction and certification. Additionally, we offer FREE underwater photography and videography which will be provided to you at the conclusion of your course so you can show off all your adventures to your friends and family!)***
The dive theory, exams, and in-water skills and dives taken during the PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification course are exactly the same as those taken by adults. The only difference between the two certifications is age, depth and buddy requirements. Very simply, those who are 15 years and above become Open Water Divers, and those who are under 15 years old at the time of certification are certified as Junior Open Water Divers.
If the Junior Open Water Diver is age 10 or 11, then they have to dive with either a scuba certified parent/guardian or a dive professional. In addition, while adult Open Water Divers and Junior Open Water Divers age 12to 15 are certified to dive to a depth of 18 meters/60 feet, Junior Open Water Divers age 10 or 11 are limited to depths of 12 meters/40 feet or less.
However, because the course for juniors and adults is identical, as soon as a Junior Open Water Diver reaches the age of 15, they can order a replacement card to reflect their new Open Water Diver status.
As mentioned above, at the age of 15, a Junior Open Water Diver may simply order a replacement of their PADI certification card. The new card will arrive without the ‘Junior’ designation and will be a full adult Open Water Diver certification. When ordering a PADI Junior Open Water Diver upgrade card, there is no special process. Divers simply need to order a new card online (red button below) or through their local dive shop. There are three possible options when ordering a replacement card.
Physical cards are a great way to show off your status as a diver. Physical cards are the same size as credit cards, so they fit easily in your wallet or keep them safe and on hand in your logbook. Advantages of physical cards are that they are accessible in remote diving destinations where internet access may be unreliable – and they are

Advantages of physical cards are that they are accessible in remote diving destinations where internet access may be unreliable – and they are waterproof! They’re also available with a variety of limited edition images on the front of the card – from sea turtles to impressive sharks.
