PADI Bubblemaker

The PADI Bubblemaker program is for younger kids who want to experience the thrill of the underwater world.  It introduces kids from as young as 8 years old to diving in a swimming pool, under the direct supervision of one of our PADI Instructors.  Sign your kids up today, and they'll not only receive a cool certificate but also a certification card, just like a scuba diver.

The course takes approximately one hour, of which thirty minutes will be spent in the swimming pool.  The time in the pool will introduce the kids to a few simple scuba diving skills, and then taking their first steps underwater, up to a maximum depth of 2 metres (6 feet).

PADI Seal Team

• Age: 8 and 9
• Equipment: Full Dive Kit Included
• Price: US$150
• Duration: 1-2 Half Days

The PADI Seal Team has been especially developed for children.  Any child of 8 years and over may participate.  The whole program is conducted in a swimming pool.

Although only in a swimming pool, children learn the true aspects of scuba diving.  The skills learned in the sessions can be counted towards the full PADI Open Water Diver course should they continue on to it when old enough.

The course is structured into a series of sessions called 'Aqua Missions'.  Each 'Aqua Mission' teaches new skills.  Whilst the emphasis is on fun, there is still some serious learning to be done.

Once a child has completed the core 'Aqua Missions' they become a member of the PADI Seal Team and are given a wall certificate and certification card to show their family and friends.  They also have their own personal logbooks where they can write their experiences along with puzzles and other games.

Once they enrol on the program, they will receive their crew pack which contains their logbook, and watch a video which they do before each 'Aqua Mission'.  The whole course is based around 5 cartoon characters which help the children learn the knowledge required.

Once they become a 'PADI Seal', the adventure doesn't stop there.  They can then complete another 15 special 'Aqua Missions' and become a 'PADI Master Seal'.  These special 'Aqua Missions' include photography, night diving and wreck diving, all done in the safety of a swimming pool.

This is a great fun course which all children will enjoy.
