Mia is America’s youngest female certified Master Scuba Diver (Credit: Jill DaPonte)

Most 12-year-olds dream of a big party or a fun sleepover to celebrate their birthday. But Mia DaPonte, from East Greenwich, Rhode Island, had a different goal in mind. She wanted to celebrate by becoming New England’s first 12-year-old — and the youngest female in the US — to earn the title of PADI Master Scuba Diver. This is the highest recreational diving certification offered by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors.

        Actually, you'd be surprised!! Things are a lot lighter underwater, especially when you're that deep. My older sister, who is heavier than me, I can't lift up off the ground, out of water, but WITH water, it's easy for me. And she's already an adult.
