Scuba Nation Cambodia - PADI Diving and Instruction in the Gulf of Thailand (Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh)

The PADI Bubblemakers program for children aged 8+ is an introduction to Scuba diving in the safe, relaxing and enjoyable environment of a swimming pool or sheltered water, supervised in water by an a fully qualified and experienced PADI Diving Instructor.

This 1-2 hour session introduces your children to the underwater world and gives them the opportunity to experience weightlessness and breathing underwater with the emphasis on having FUN!!! There is a briefing about aspects of scuba given by a professional PADI Instructor & there are some easy skills to learn, then your children have the opportunity to swim around in full scuba gear.

We have several options: they can swim around in the pool or on a boat trip or both. This flexible program can also be used for childrens’ parties or the whole family can come and give it a try. After they have tried it, most children want to continue with Scuba & they can do this by joining our PADI Seal Team program or if they are 10+ they may consider doing their Open Water Course, leading to an internationally recognised diving qualification.
