The PADI Bubblemaker experience is an easy and fun introduction to the exciting underwater world. Incorporating lots of games and play from underwater toys and acrobatics to Scuba Courses version of an underwater egg and spoon race. Your child will not stop laughing as they experience how it feels to float like an astronaut, feeling completely weightless in the water.  

The session will begin with an informative talk, covering safety aspects of Scuba and what breathing underwater for the first time will be like. Our team of PADI professionals will assist your child putting on the equipment in the pool.

Continue The Adventure...

There are so many ways that children can become more involved in scuba diving with many different programs to suit all ages from 8 upwards. As the future ambassadors of the oceans; getting children involved in such a thrilling and exciting hobby can really enrich their lives. They can learn valuable life skills, discipline, organisation and responsibility whilst having fun and getting hands on understanding of diving theory. Most importantly though they will love the exhilaration of completing underwater tasks, swimming amongst the coral and recognising different fish species; there's no adventure quite like it! 

8 and 9 year olds can enrol onto as many PADI Bubblemaker sessions as they like but the PADI Seal Team program is where the real fun is! This is also a great option for older children who are not ready to take on the PADI Junior Open Water Course and just want to make memories and bubbles in the pool without the in depth dive theory or the responsibility of becoming a fully certified PADI Junior Open Water Diver. 

However, some children will feel ready to take on the challenge of the PADI Junior Open Water Diver Course and will become life long lovers of the underwater world with a certification ready to take them on adventures across the globe for the rest of their lives!
