Overview
This is a fantastic scuba experience for kids, families, or anyone who wants a fun introduction to scuba in the comfort and safety of a swimming pool! We conduct discovery classes in the ocean for all ages past 10 years old. But, we wanted to offer something for the younger kids, too! If your kids are 8 & 9, they can't go to the ocean with a tank yet, and this is a great way to introduce them to the sport. Suitable for anyone who prefers to enjoy scuba in the pool first!
If your child enjoys this introduction, their instructor can tell them how to complete a PADI Seal Team Certificate or Master Seal in the pool or go to the shallow ocean to see the fish - lots of fun stuff to keep them active and busy on vacation!
This safe and fun activity is a great primer for ocean diving and gives very young children the chance to breath underwater, and fly around like an astronaut!

Participants in the Private Kids Scuba Pool Certificate cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
