The activity

Scuba Diving, explained

Scuba diving means breathing underwater from a tank of air through a mouthpiece called a regulator, while wearing a mask, fins and a buoyancy jacket. Children usually start in a pool rather than the sea: an instructor fits their gear, shows them how to breathe slowly and calmly, and stays right beside them in shallow water. A first try is a play session, not a course. Later programmes add skills step by step, such as floating at a steady depth, clearing water from the mask and finding their way underwater. Diving builds calm breathing, body awareness, confidence in water and curiosity about the sea. At this centre, the kids' programmes start at age 8.

Who it's for

Children aged 8 and over for PADI Bubblemaker and PADI Seal Team, as the course pages state. The PADI Master Seal Team page gives no age; it describes advanced AquaMissions for young divers, so ask whether Seal Team must come first. The Discover Scuba Diving, Open Water and other course pages, and the dive trip listings, give no minimum age, so ask the provider before booking one for a child. None of the course pages mentions a swimming test; ask the provider what your child needs to be able to do.

What to expect

A child's first dive here is PADI Bubblemaker at Dive Tribe HQ in Al Quoz Industrial 4.
