Your child’s first breaths underwater

The PADI Bubblemaker program is a fantastic way for children to experience scuba diving in a safe and controlled environment. Under the supervision of a certified PADI instructor, kids get the chance to breathe underwater for the first time, play fun underwater games, and learn basic diving skills.

The experience takes place in a calm sea lagoon with a maximum depth of 2 metres, so young participants can gain confidence in the water while having fun. It’s a one-to-one experience, not a certification course — just the adventure of a lifetime for your child.
