Kids Diving
PADI Junior Open Water Diver Licence
As a certified Junior Open Water you have the freedom to dive with a qualified parent, guardian or a professional. If you have already tried a Discover Scuba Diving experience or are Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit from these courses may apply to the Junior Open water program. At the age of 15, the Junior Open Water qualification is automatically upgraded to the full adult rating.
Age 10 – 15: Junior Open Water
Junior Fun Diver Experience (non license)
Junior Scuba Diving sessions are a lot of fun. These take place in a confined water area in the sea which has a shallow end and a not so shallow end which, at its deepest, is about five and a half feet deep.
The initial trial session is called Bubblemaker where we have a lot of fun putting on the Scuba Diving gear and trying breathing and swimming underwater for the first time in the shallow water ( see photo to the left) under the close supervision (direct supervision) of a renewed Instructor. Beyond Bubblemaker is the Seal team where we play games and practice skills underwater.
Kids can experience Bubblemaker from the age of 8 upwards. It is also possible to arrange Kid’s diving parties.
PADI Bubblemaker
The Bubblemaker is specially for the 8 – 10 year old who wants to try Scuba. It includes all equipment and tuition from an Instructor.
After the Bubblemaker many kids then go on to join the Seal Team.
Bubblemaker Parties
Scuba Parties are available for the 8-12 year old. They will get to experience full scuba diving underwater in the sea in shallow water under the direct supervision of Instructors and certified Assistants.
Under 8’s can snorkel with the divers.
Seal Team
The Seal Team is for kids who want an action-packed, adventure program with exciting scuba “AquaMissions.”
There are many different AquaMissions to choose from, including:
- Wreck diving
- Navigation
- Underwater Photography
- Buoyancy
The Seal team is a regularly meeting group of young divers who have the opportunity to try different AquaMissions in various speciality areas.
As a regular Seal Team member, the young Scuba Diver will develop the skills and confidence to enable him or her to take the next step to the Junior Scuba Diver certification.
