FAQ
Is this safe for an 8-year-old?
Yes — Bubblemaker is the world's most established kids' intro program, designed by PADI and SSI specifically for this age. Maximum depth is 2 metres, ratio is 1:1 or 1:2, equipment is sized for children, and the entire experience is play-based.
What if my child is scared?
Then we don't push. We slow down, swap to snorkeling, or end the session early. There is zero pressure.
Can my younger child do something similar?
We offer guided snorkeling for ages 5+ — see the Snorkeling page for details.
