No. Except your becoming an instructor. Instructors are the only ones allowed to take uncertified divers out.
Legally, I’m sure there’s an issue. Even if your family wouldn’t sue you for having an accident with your brother, there could be criminal ramifications for giving an uncertified diver gear, and then having an accident or death ensuing happen. It’s usually called criminal negligence.
if your certified then shouldn’t you know that?
