About the course

Scuba diving for children

The Bubblemaker lets children breathe underwater for the first time, safely and with no pressure. They use real scuba equipment and stay in water no deeper than 2 metres.

A PADI instructor is with them the whole time. It is a good way to find out whether a child enjoys diving before they are old enough for the Open Water course, at 10.

The day

A short briefing, then time in shallow water with the instructor.

Step 1

Meet the equipment

The instructor shows them the mask, fins, jacket and regulator, and how each one works.

Step 2

First breaths

In shallow water, they breathe from the regulator and get used to being underwater.

Step 3

Explore

Swimming and playing in water up to 2 metres deep, with the instructor beside them.
