PADI Bubblemaker, underwater fun for kids age 8+

Underwater fun for all the family PADI Bubblemaker

For the little adventurous ones between 8 and 10 years old, we have a special PADI Bubblemaker program.

Youngsters can join in the family fun of scuba diving or even start a trend! Children should be comfortable in the water, but they don't have to be super swimmers. With youngsters in mind, the maximum depth is only 2 metres/ 6 feet.

What's involved?

First, we need to do some paperwork with the kids and parents, including a medical statement to make sure that the participants are fit to dive, we will also give a thorough briefing and make sure that everyone understands.

If possible we like to offer Bubblemaker on our boat at a suitable dive site, such as Koh Haa lagoon, where the parents can also join in the fun, either snorkeling above, or diving along with the kids.

We often find that youngsters will love the Bubblemaker experience, but are usually happy to finish after about 20 minutes or so, because of this, we usually recommend that the parents come diving or snorkeling with us on the boat, and that we conduct the Bubblemaker at lunch time, however the choice is yours.

For those with a little less confidence, we can conduct the Bubblemaker at the beach in front of our dive shop.

Parents Welcome!

Of course, parents are more than welcome to come along with the kids, either snorkeling or diving.

If you don't have a diving certification, but would like to experience scuba diving along with the kids, then you should check out our one-day PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or contact us for more information.

Want a permanent record of your dive or snorkel trip here in the Andaman Sea? Our professional in-house photographer can record you above and below the water as you and your group explore Koh Phi Phi, Koh Haa or Hin Daeng & Hin Muang. We'll create a professional slideshow with the photos and give you a copy on CD to take home.

If you don't have your own underwater camera, we have several for rent. We'll show you how to prepare the camera, give you tips on how to take shots underwater and then burn all your photos to CD once back on Koh Lanta.
