Every child is different and they all grow up at different stages. If your child seems keen to learn, confident in the water and ready to discover a whole new world, they are probably ready! If they are not confident yet in the water, wait until they are older. We encourage parents to make their own judgement into whether the child is ready or not.

The PADI Bubblemaker and the PADI SEAL Team are conducted in the swimming pool only. The Junior PADI Open Water and continued education will be conducted in the swimming pool and the sea.
