Scuba Courses for 8-10 year olds
Children’s Scuba Courses
We offer scuba diving courses for kids aged 8 years+. As well as being a PADI 5-star IDC centre, we are also a PADI Youth Training Facility, meaning your kids are in safe hands!
Children ages 8-10 can participate in Bubblemaker and Seal teams. Kids aged 10+ can do the Discover Scuba or Junior Open Water course.
Please note we require a minimum of 3 children per course. When you book you will be placed on a list and then automatically e-mailed when the course reaches 3 people and goes ahead.
PADI Bubblemaker
The Bubblemaker program is fun, easy and a safe way for youngsters to join in the family fun of scuba diving! After some serious fun with a game of underwater frisbee, the children are given a wall certificate to show off to all their friends. Children should be OK in the water but they don’t have to be great swimmers since the maximum depth is only 2m.
Course features:
- For children eight years and older who want to have fun in the pool
- Conducted by a PADI Instructor
- No pre-training required
- Uses equipment made for children
- Typical sessions last about 1 1/2 hours (sign up, gear up and fun included)
PADI Seal Team
This exciting weekly program is built around action-packed AquaMissions!
What’s an AquaMission?
It’s an underwater pool adventure where kids learn new scuba activities. Kids learn how to float underwater like an Astronaut or take pictures of each other scuba diving.
Supported by a manual and logbook, the PADI Seal Team program is broken into two parts. Part one, AquaMissions 1 – 5, teaches kids the basics of diving – things like buoyancy control, mask clearing, regulator recovery, etc. After building a solid foundation of scuba skills, kids move on to part two.
Part two is full of Specialty AquaMissions. These cool dives teach kids different scuba activities including:
- Underwater Scooter Specialist
- Creature ID Specialist
- Environmental Specialist
- Inner Space Specialist
- Navigation Specialist
- Night Specialist
- Safety Specialist
- Search & Recover Specialist
- Skin Diver Specialist
- Snapshot Specialist
- Wreck Specialist
As you can see, PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives. And the best part of the Specialty AquaMissions, they reinforce safe diving skills while the kids are having fun. Get involved today – pool diving has never been this adventurous!
