The Fun Part

Youngsters can join in the family fun of scuba diving or even start a trend! Children should be comfortable in the water, but they don't have to be super swimmers. With youngsters in mind, the maximum depth is only 2 metres/ 6 feet.

• Typical sessions last about an hour (sign up, gear up and fun included)
• Also available as an open water experience (2 metres/ 6 feet max. depth)

What You Learn

Kids get a chance to :

• Experience what scuba diving is like under the direct care and supervision of PADI Instructors
• Take their first breath underwater
• Learn about and use scuba diving equipment made for children – not adults

The Scuba Gear You Use

Children use all the basic scuba gear, which is made for their size and stature.
