Bubblemaker

For youngsters ages 8 or 9

Scuba Diving is not just for adults!  The Bubblemaker course is a fun and easy scuba diving course designed especially for kids to join the undewater fun too.  Kalliopi Dive College's younger customers are well catered for.  We stock everything to make the mini-diver comfortable, with extra (extra!) small wetsuits, well fitting buoyancy control devices (BCD's) and best quality dive masks & fins etc.  

This super half day programme introduces this special age group to the fun of scuba diving, where they get to play games and enjoy fun exercises with their instructor firstly in the swimming pool and then in the sea where we complete the course with a shallow easy dive (on a one-to-one basis) in a sheltered, confined lagoon.  And of course, kids get their well deserved Bubblemaker certificates to take home.

Not sure if your child will manage?  Allow us the opportunity to offer a fun, complimentary try out first in a shallow pool.    

Daily courses: 9am-12pm / 2pm-5pm
Bubblemaker Course Price:  €70.00, including transfers & Bubblemaker certificates.

Course consists of:

• Knowledge Development (outdoor ‘classroom’) to understand the basic principles of scuba diving.
• Confined Water Dives, usually in the swimming pool to learn the basic scuba skills.  Here you’ll learn everything from setting up your scuba gear to how to easily get water out of your scuba mask without surfacing.  You’ll also practice some emergency skills, e.g. sharing air or replacing your scuba mask.   There are 5 confined dives and over the course of these, you attain the skills you need to dive in open water.
• 4 Open Water Dives with your Instructor to review your skills and explore!  After your confined water dives, you continue learning during four open water dives with your PADI Scuba Diving Instructor at various dive sites in the area of Paphos.  You may make these dives at your own pace, generally over the course of a couple of days.  Kalliopi Dive College open water dives are in group ratios of no more than two students to one instructor.
