This program is open to anyone who can swim and is 10 years of age or older. All you need is an adventurous spirit, a swimming costume, and a towel.

Kids and Scuba Diving

There is nothing stronger than a kid’s curiosity and the affinity they have for water, and the very idea of breathing underwater allows their imaginations, and thirst for adventure to ignite.
