Junior Scuba Diver
The PADI Junior Open Water Diver course is rewarding and fun, but do bear in mind that it’s quite challenging – for the mature child it can be incredibly fun, but do bear in mind that it’s not for everyone at this age so it’s best to have a chat with us on an individual basis.
The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver.
