Diving is an excellent activity for children, combining fun, adventure, and adrenaline with educational elements such as the environment, physics, biology, and geography. Starting your child on their underwater adventures could be a life-changing experience!
The PADI Bubblemaker programme offers a fun, easy, and safe introduction to scuba diving for children. Designed specifically for youngsters, this course requires no prior training. During the session, children use equipment made for their size and capabilities and enjoy activities such as a game of underwater frisbee. The programme ensures that children feel comfortable in the water, with a maximum depth of only 2 metres.
After the diving fun, each child receives a wall certificate to celebrate their achievement and share with friends. The course is conducted by a certified PADI Instructor, ensuring a professional and safe experience.
The Bubblemaker course takes place at various indoor locations across Surrey & Berkshire, S.E. London & Kent, and Brighton.
These venues provide a controlled and safe environment, perfect for introducing children to the wonders of scuba diving.
Children must be 8 years or older and should be comfortable in the water, though advanced swimming skills are not required.
