Scuba Diving Age Limit

[DisneyPrincess]

Does anyone know if there is a maximum age limit for scuba diving with Disney port adventures? I can find a minimum, but not a maximum...
Thanks!

Unless it's specified, there probably isn't one. The lawyers are pretty good about making sure any restrictions are noted on excursions.

You can get your certification at age 10. That’s probably the youngest you can go.

The 2 scuba excursions I looked at had a minimum age of 12 listed.

My kids were certified at age 10 and that was the youngest PADI would certif.

I don't doubt that. What OP was referring to (as well as me) was, for the DCL scuba excursions, the minimum age was 12.

OP is talking MAXIMUM age.
I have no idea but this scuba site lists anyone over 50 as an "older"diver.

I know that. I was responding to poster who seemed to be saying, since PADI certifies 10 year olds, that would be the minimum age.

My son (who was 14 at the time) and I went diving twice on a DCL cruise. In our group I would guess the majority of people were in their 30's and 40's. There may have been a few in their 50's or early 60's.

I did not get the impression that the dive companies weren't super strict on the rules. For instance, my son was a junior diver at the time and yet he was allowed to go below 70 ft on one of the dives. My guess would be older age is not an issue, they would let the individual decide if they can safely dive.

Thank you all!

I know some cruise lines have maximum ages, I just couldn't find anything listed for Disney.

My dad will be 73 soon, but he is an avid diver (over 300 dives, didn't start until age 65).
He gets so offended at the age limits given by some cruise lines, ha!
