Contrary to what you might think from TV and movies, scuba diving isn’t only an awesome sport or hobby for “grown-ups." In today's day and age scuba diving is also an excellent sport and hobby for children. In addition the PADI Bubblemaker could be the start of a lifelong adventure and even a career in the making.

The PADI Bubblemaker course is specially designed to allow children to experience the thrill of Scuba Diving in a safe, fun way. As such not only is the program is conducted under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor, but it also takes place in shallow water.

You might be wondering what your children / kids will be doing on the PADI Bubblemaker Course.
First of all, they will have a short Bubblemaker briefing on how the to breathe underwater. Don’t worry, this is the same as we do on the surface. The only difference is that we never hold our breath underwater. We will also explain how the Scuba Diving equipment they will be using works. This along with a few other simply things they need to know to dive safely under supervision.

After they are happy with their briefing, then it’s time for the pool and some diving! This is where their PADI instructor will help them on with their equipment. And before you ask, we do have Scuba Diving equipment made in small sizes especially for kids. When they are happy with their equipment and how it works then it's time to dive. In the pool and equipment on, then their PADI Instructor will show them some simple skills.

Once they are comfortable and their instructor happy, then it's time to dive! We have lots of games for them to do, as well as a load of other fun and exciting things to do.

You will be surprised at just how much fun it can be. And just how much there is to do in a pool if you have never dived before.

PADI Bubblemaker safety first
And don’t worry folks, The Bubblemaker program takes place in a swimming pool under the direct supervision of a PADI Instructor in water no deeper than 2m.
Because this gives youngsters a chance to safely explore the underwater world they may well develop a hobby for life as we all have.
Our Parents are so lucky that this PADI program was not available when we were kids. Because we would not have not stop pestering them until they let us try Scuba Diving, even when we were only 8 years old.

PADI has been developing their library of Scuba Diving Digital products and therefore offers a variety of exciting options. Without doubt the best in our opinion is the Open Water Touch. This is designed for tablets or smart phones. However, you also have Digital manuals, online study called eLearning. More and more of these learning aids are being released all the time.
Whichever you choose, even if you prefer the traditional paper manual, it is included in your PADI Open Water Course Price!

Learning the basics first in the pool allows you to comfortably gain scuba diving skills due to a pleasant and controlled environment with no outside distractions.

PADI Open Water Course: Open Water Dives
The last 2 days of the PADI Open Water Diver Course are spent out on the boat at some of our favorite local Phuket dive sites! The dive sites we choose are the best dive sites for entry level divers.

Most of all you will be repeating skills which you did in the swimming pool and adapting them to real life scuba diving. The rest of the dive will be spent doing what you came here to do, dive and explore the reefs along with your Instructor once the skills are completed.

Upon completion of this course you will have earned The PADI Open Water Diver Certification License. Because of this you will be qualified to rent equipment and dive independently of a PADI Dive Professional up to a depth of 18m.
