Perfect for ages 8 and up, the Bubblemaker Experience is a fun and exciting introduction to scuba diving.

Participants learn how to move underwater, control buoyancy, try basic scuba skills, and take part in a range of underwater games and challenges in a safe, shallow-water environment.

The cost is $90, which includes everything required for the session. Each participant will take home a logbook, certificate, and underwater photos from their experience.

The PADI Seal Team program is designed for young divers who want a more structured introduction to scuba diving through fun and engaging underwater “AquaMissions”.

Participants complete AquaMissions 1–5 and a final skill circuit to earn their PADI Seal Team membership card. This is a fun yet challenging program and is an excellent pathway for anyone considering the PADI Junior Open Water certification.

There is also the option to continue and complete 10 specialty AquaMissions to become a PADI Master Seal Team Member.

Participants receive underwater photos, the PADI Seal Team DVD, logbook, and certificate, along with a membership card sent by mail. They also gain a strong foundation of scuba skills and a real sense of underwater adventure.

This program runs over two half-days during school holidays and includes everything required. The cost is $450.

We offer the PADI Open Water Diver certification from age 10.

Children under 12 are required to complete a pre-course assessment before starting. They also have a strict maximum depth limit of 12 metres, in line with PADI Junior Diver standards.

The course is tailored to each child’s individual ability and can take anywhere from one weekend to several weeks to complete. Every child learns at their own pace, and we adapt the training to ensure full understanding, skill mastery, and confidence in the water.

The course fee is $1,100. If two participants enrol together, we offer a discounted rate of $900 each. Courses run either one-to-one or with a maximum of two students per instructor.

A deposit is required before access to the online theory component, which can be completed at home in your own time. The remaining balance is due upon completion of the course.

Please note that the training is identical to the adult Open Water course in content and requirements, with the only differences being depth limits and instructor-to-student ratios. To achieve certification, each child must demonstrate full understanding and mastery of all theory and practical skills.

The certification is issued as Junior Open Water Diver, which automatically converts to a full Open Water Diver certification on the child’s 15th birthday.

Children who are confident and comfortable in the water generally enjoy the course and do very well, making diving a fun and rewarding experience.

The total cost of the course is $800, which includes all training, equipment use, and certification requirements.
