The PADI Seal Team is a scuba programme designed specifically for children aged 8 and over. It is not a watered-down adult course. It is structured around AquaMissions - short, focused, deliberately fun sessions where children learn a real skill and then get to use it.
The basics come first: breathing underwater, clearing a mask, controlling where you are in the water column. After that the missions get more interesting - diving with a torch, taking photographs underwater, hovering motionless like an astronaut, buoyancy, navigation, and looking after the environment they are swimming in.
A certified PADI instructor throughout, all dive equipment sized for children, two dives, lunch and drinks, and hotel pickup and return in an air-conditioned private car. The day runs around 8 hours.
Some children take to this instantly and some do not, and both are completely normal at that age. The instructor will not push a child who is frightened. If your child decides after ten minutes that they would rather snorkel, that is a fine outcome and they will still have had a good day.
Do not book this as a surprise. Children do far better when they have had a few days to get used to the idea, and when going along has been their decision rather than yours.
$130 per child (regular price $150), including instructor, equipment, two dives, lunch and transfers.
