Young divers can take their first breath underwater with this exciting introduction to scuba diving. Designed specifically for children, the PADI Bubblemaker Course combines safety, fun, and hands-on learning in a controlled pool environment. Participants gain confidence and a sense of adventure while exploring the underwater world for the very first time.
The course begins with a short orientation session, where instructors explain basic scuba concepts, safety protocols, and how to use child-friendly equipment. Participants will learn to breathe underwater and familiarise themselves with the mask, snorkel, and regulator in a calm, controlled setting.
Pool sessions follow, with children exploring the water under direct supervision. Fun games and activities help develop comfort in the water while teaching early diving skills. The emphasis is on enjoyment and building confidence, ensuring each young diver has a positive first experience.
Successful completion of the course is recognised with a PADI Bubblemaker certificate. This serves as a tangible reward and a reminder of the child’s first underwater adventure. Families can also enquire about tailored birthday party sessions, combining learning with a memorable celebration for young divers.
Littlehampton Marina provides an ideal base for this introductory program, offering a secure pool environment and easy access to local diving facilities. The marina is fully equipped to support children and beginners, including changing areas, equipment storage, and safety-focused supervision.
Nearby coastal areas provide context for future open water training, giving participants and their families a sense of the underwater environment beyond the pool. The location is well suited for short, structured sessions designed to introduce young divers safely to scuba activities.
Children must be at least 8 years old, possess basic swimming skills, and feel comfortable in the water. A completed medical questionnaire is required to ensure participants are fit to dive safely, and any medical concerns should be discussed with a qualified professional prior to participation.
Parental consent is mandatory for all participants under 18, and guardians are encouraged to remain on-site to observe and support their children during the session. The course is designed to make the first dive experience safe, enjoyable, and confidence-building.
Instructors are certified PADI professionals with experience teaching young divers. They focus on safety, engagement, and personalised attention, ensuring every child has a positive introduction to scuba diving.
Modern facilities and high-quality child-specific equipment create an environment where learning is fun and safe. Small group sizes allow instructors to provide direct supervision and tailored guidance, fostering confidence and enjoyment from the very first dive.
