Junior Courses
Kids can start diving from the age of 8 years old with the PADI Bubblemaker and Seal Team courses and at age 10 are able to do the Junior Open Water Course. This has the same content as the adult course, with slightly different limits for the maximum depth and who they can dive with. The good news is that when they turn 15 they can automatically upgrade to a full open water qualification, with no extra work to do!
The courses don't just stop there. There's a whole range of certifications available, which have varying age requirements and limits on permitted depths, but here's an idea of what you can do. If you'd like further details then you can follow the links below:
