Excuse me, why do you need a certificate? and even for a child ... IMHO: if you want to learn how to use scuba gear safely, then Egyptian hotel courses will not help you - study in Russia with good teachers. The life and health of both you and your child depend on it. Already at the age of 12, it’s definitely not worth convincing a child that he knows how to use scuba gear.

Wise thought. But there are nuances - my son and I live in different countries, we see each other 15-20 days a year. So I want to introduce him to diving seriously during a joint vacation. And better hotel (or hotel - the price is 2 times higher, the quality is the same, I dived in Egypt - I can compare) courses than diving excursions. A mess, no pleasure, bred for dummies. And you can also look for German-speaking courses (there seems to be a more serious attitude, since the son is German.

You will not be given a certificate for a 12 year old child. If you convince hotel divers that your son at least 14 will be loaded. Start small, if your son likes it, then you can just dive with an instructor by the hand.

"So I want to introduce him to diving seriously during a joint vacation."
Even if you learn before OWD, don’t give your child a certificate, it’s better to break it right away, and I strongly don’t recommend diving with a child without a master instructor.

You came up with nonsense!!! Forgive me for being candid please! They go to the sea not for certificates, but for impressions !!!!!!!! So do not bother yourself and the child !!!! you can get a certificate at home, but a cool vacation is not !!!!!

The hotel has a dive center right next to the beach. There you can get OWD Certificates according to the padi system, with this dive club dived more than once, bargaining with them is appropriate. plus get at least 8 dives in open water, tobish in the sea and all this will be included in the price of training, the courses will be cheaper than the tour operator about 250-300 dollars

Well, it's a strange idea for a 12-year-old child to receive an OWD certificate... For you personally - no problem, there are good dive clubs, and very often you will be in them not in a group, but individually. But this is not at the hotel, but they will come, pick it up, take it, bring it back to the hotel. In general, they will try) A 4-day course with a book and a certificate costs $ 350, if you wish, then you can take advanced and improve further. 4 days is a day of theory, then a day in the pool, then a day in the water and the last day they are taken out on a yacht to the open sea with a dive up to 20m, by the way, to very beautiful places!

Thank you all very much. The thought of a certificate for a child is really somehow ... I didn’t think about it. Although, rather not clearly formulated. The goal is not a certificate, but to introduce a child to diving. So I will limit myself to just a few dives with an instructor.
