After that, the PADI Instructor will help your kid donning the gear in the water. During this program we stay in our pool and the maximum depth will be 2m/6ft. Under water we will play several fun games! Moreover we will swim around and there will be time to make some pictures.  

The PADI Seal Team program for kids 8-10 years will be divided over several afternoons. With one of our PADI Instructors your kid will do 5 AquaMissions, in which the will learn the basic scuba diving skills, such as breathing under water, clearing a mask of water, recovering a regulator and swimming around experiencing the sensation of being weightless. After completing these 5 AquaMissions your kid will become a recognized PADI Seal Team Member. This experience may also count toward the PADI Open Water Diver course when they are old enough to participate in the course.
