# Young divers: age rules for online bookings

> Set minimum ages and junior depth limits for dive activities booked online.

Checked 9 November 2026 · https://docs.seascape.bz/check-in/young-divers

Your booking page can stop a child being booked onto a dive they shouldn't be on. Set this in **Settings** → **Booking rules** → **Young divers**. **Check ages on online bookings** is on for a new shop, and saves the moment you switch it.

- **Youngest age to make a booking**: 18 to start with. This is the person paying.
- **Youngest diver who can be booked online**: 12. Younger divers are told to call or email the shop.
- **Youngest diver without an adult on the trip**: 14. Below that, an adult has to be booked with them.
- **Junior divers**: 14 and under dive no deeper than 21 m. This only works if the activity has a **Max Depth** set.

The numbers save with the **Save** button in the bar at the top. Each age is a whole number from 1 to 99, and the three must stay in order: the age to be booked online is no higher than the age to dive without an adult, which is no higher than the age to make a booking. A number that can't be saved says why under it.

These rules cover dive activities booked online only. Snorkelling and other non-dive activities are never affected, and your staff can add anyone from the dashboard. If a diver's date of birth isn't known yet, the rules don't refuse them.

Whatever you set here, a diver under 18 still needs a parent or guardian to sign their waiver.
