Scuba diving is something that can be enjoyed at almost any age. Whilst few regulatory bodies are likely to award diving certification to those under the age of ten, for the most part, so long as you are healthy and mobile, you will be able to learn to dive.
With one girl in America recently being awarded her Junior Master Scuba Diver title the day after her 12th birthday (and the day after she would legally have been allowed to be awarded the title), it is becoming increasingly clear just how many younger individuals are happy to dive out in the deep blue sea as opposed to simply (quite literally) testing the water and trying it out in a swimming pool.
There are all manner of specialist holidays for those who love to dive or who would love to try, and whether individuals are still too young to watch 12A films alone or have been collecting their pension for many years, there will be plenty of opportunity to dive throughout the world.
However, for those in their early or later years, the scuba diving travel insurance that is sourced may need to be far more focussed. Some companies will only insure divers between certain ages, and therefore, especially for younger and older divers, it will be integral to use a company that specialises in scuba diving holiday insurance to ensure you are covered for every potential outcome.
Age is no barrier for those wishing to enjoy scuba diving, and so long as the youngsters can convince their parents to take them, it will simply be a case of checking the rules of individuals diving schools online before you book, and ensuring you have the right insurance on hand.
