In the safety of out heated pool your children will learn about the equipment and skills involved in diving whilst having fun under the supervision of our award winning instructor.
Initially this course will run monthly for 5 months, although we may consider increasing it to every other week if there is sufficient demand for a more frequent experience.
Whats involved?
The PADI Seal Team is for young scuba divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by completing exciting AquaMissions.
Have your children ever wondered what it's like to float effortlessly like an astronaut? We can offer them the chance to find out!
Beyond learning basic scuba skills, there are specialty AquaMissions, such as wreck diving, navigation, buoyancy, environmental awareness and more. PADI Seal Team includes doing some cool stuff in the pool, meeting friends and sharing in the adventure of the underwater world.
Who can take the course?
Anyone over the age of 8 can take this course and it is often used as a bridge to the Jr Open Water Course when the child is confident and comfortable enough to progress. There is also a "Master Seal" course consisting of a further 10 "Aquamissions" that can follow on from this course.
Parental approval is required.
