But before you do, please read what the FAQ has to say about someone her
age learning to dive. See section 3.5 at http://www.ukrecscuba.org.uk/faq/

Hi there
How near is Deep Blue at North shields. www.deepbluedive.com
I noticed they were handing out PADI information at the Outdoor show at the
NEC the other week.
Or contact BSAC for your nearest branch to you. www.bsac.org

There's a newish company, operating in the Gateshead area.
www.scubascouts.net
They're totally geared up for children.
Hope this helps

And then read it again, and again, and again.
Then realise that decompression theory only has imperical evidence for
divers over 18 - extrapolating a little bit down is probably ok, but at 14
years old a diver is far more likely to have PFO (a hole in the heart that
makes decompression illness more likely) and who's so say how good a child's
body is at filtering bubbles? Has that completely developed?
As far as I can tell, there's only one way to know with any accuracy - and
people might get upset if you started deliberately bending children and
seeing how serious the DCI was (which is, after all, how adult decompression
theory was worked out).
Now decide that it'd be a great thing to do in 3 or 4 years time.
