I know that this subject raises it's head from time to time on various sites but as I've just been able to persuade the other half to allow our 12 year old daughter to start diving I was looking for some opinions.I'm obviously planning to go down all the correct routes with the bottom line being that next year if she wants to carry on I will take her to Sharm for a week.This week (in the very early planning stages at the moment) will involve a weeks diving mainly on the reefs to a depth of no more than 10 metres or within Junior Open Water guidelines ( I love all the small stuff anyway - and to boot my pleasure is going to come out of seeing the look on my daughters face the first time see dips below the water on the check out dive). If the dive plan involves anything deeper than that - well We'll just snorkel or sunbathe.Do you think I'm pushing things a bit or going about a propsed trip it in the right way.
