PADI Bubblemaker is a specially designed scuba diving program that introduces children between the ages of 8 and 10 to the amazing world beneath the waves. This program takes place in a safe, confined water environment such as a swimming pool or shallow lagoon, providing a controlled and comfortable setting for young beginners to explore the underwater realm. During the session, children will have the unique opportunity to experience the thrill of breathing underwater using scuba equipment, guided closely by a certified PADI Professional. They will learn essential basic scuba skills such as mask clearing, regulator breathing, and underwater communication, all while having fun and building confidence in the water. Each Bubblemaker session typically lasts about 1 to 2 hours, allowing ample time for instruction, practice, and plenty of underwater exploration. To ensure personalized attention and safety, groups are kept small, usually no more than four children per instructor. Safety is our top priority. All activities take place under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional who is trained in child safety and scuba instruction. Before the dive, children undergo a simple water comfort assessment to confirm they are ready. Equipment is specially sized for children to ensure comfort and ease of use. No prior experience is required — children just need to feel comfortable being in the water. Parental approval is mandatory to ensure that parents are fully informed and supportive of their child’s first diving adventure. PADI Bubblemaker is not only a great way to safely introduce your child to scuba diving but also an incredible chance to spark their curiosity and love for marine life and ocean conservation. Many young Bubblemakers grow up to become passionate divers and ocean advocates. Join us for a memorable underwater experience that your child will treasure and remember for a lifetime!
