Safe, Fun, and Kid-Friendly
The PADI Scuba Diver course is an excellent choice for young divers aged 10 and up. With its gradual learning pace and 12-meter depth limit, it provides the perfect introduction to scuba diving for children. The shallower depth creates an extra safety margin and keeps young divers in warmer, brighter waters where they feel most comfortable.

The direct supervision requirement means parents can relax knowing their children are always under the watchful eye of a PADI Professional.
