It is only natural for us divers to want our children to be divers as well.  But if their initial experience is not fun then they are unlikely to want to continue with diving.  Whenever someone tries something for the first time, if the experience is fun and enjoyable then they are much more likely to continue with that activity.

The most common problem that children face as divers is equipment that just does not fit well.  It is only natural to want kids to try scuba diving before investing in the cost of equipment, but ill fitted equipment very often spells an experience that is just not fun and means that the child will not want to become a diver.  

That is why Aquatic Adventures has an assortment of children's scuba equipment for sale and some items for rent.

The Ranger Jr gives parents the choice of a quality BC made specifically for children. Using the same rugged construction as the legendary Ranger BC, the Ranger Jr utilizes our Personal Fit System to let you change out specific sections of the BC so it can grow right along with your child. 

The waist panel of the Ranger Jr can be adjusted out to add several inches of growth. The shoulder section of the BC can be replaced with larger sections when the child starts inching up in height. These features means that the Ranger Jr will last for many years saving you from having to buy a new BC after every growth spurt.

If the hose is too long the regulator will tend to pop out of the child's mouth every time that they try and look right or left.

It is definitely not fun to have to go through an entire dive while holding the regulator in your mouth.

Besides a small mouthpiece a regulator for a child should have shorter hoses on the second stage and possibly on the gauge console as well.
