Sorry - but any web-site that advertises them as suitable for children should be shut down
so what do you think is wrong with them
and have you used the SAME ONE as I have
My view is that whilst their rated to 20m they could easily take you much deeper than that. PADI (let's not debate the rights and wrongs of PADI
) guidelines consider any dive deeper than 18m to be a 'deep' dive requiring safety stops, furthermore they only qualify under 16s (from memory) to 12m (again from memory).
In my view any machine that is capable of taking an inexperienced (and I don't believe that generally children have the maturity to be experienced divers) diver rapidly to a depth below which they are qualified or experienced to dive at is a potentially lethal combination.
I've one too many missing diver searches and don't want to add to that number.
