Anybody who allows a kid to use compressed air is out of his mind. We have no idea what the inevitable microbubble damage will do to growing bones, brain etc. I just remember last year when I was in Hawaii with my family, doing a lot of freediving, and wishing I could stay down just a little longer to get a better look at something. As far as people embolizing at 50'...with the way PADi trains I'm sure it happens all the time. No real training to speak of, pay and we'll certify you for sure, no matter how inept you are, and accept anyone into the course. Cheers.
