Why Take Your Kid Scuba Diving?

If your child has started talking about wanting to learn to dive, or maybe you’re already a diver and would love to turn it into an activity for the whole family to enjoy together, you’re probably wondering if it’s a good idea. Here are some of the reasons you should definitely let your child take the kids scuba diving course.

  • They’ll improve their confidence in water and learn all about water safety, leading to reduced risk
  • It’s an active hobby that helps them stay fit and healthy in a way that isn’t rough on their young bodies; swimming builds muscle strength and endurance and improves cardio, but it’s also low impact
  • They’ll increase their knowledge and respect for marine life and how they can protect and help our natural environment.
  • Diving will teach them about responsibility, and how things like physics, biology and math can be applied to the real world
  • It’s extremely fun, they’ll enjoy every second, and you can get them off their phone or iPad for a while to do something healthy!

Scuba Diving Courses for Children

We have several scuba diving courses for kids that know how to swim, including:

  • RAID Try Dive: A half-day introduction to diving that takes place in a pool or confined outside water area with pool-like conditions, open to children over 10 years old

If your child isn’t old or confident enough to start taking the kids scuba diving course in UAE, our marine conservation academy has many learning opportunities for the whole family. The Ocean Explorer Day is open to children from 6 years old and includes classroom learning, sand and plankton sample collection to look at under microscopes, and even snorkeling in our marine protected area for those who know how to swim. We round the day off with painting their experience on ceramic tiles that are then fixed to our artificial reefs as a lasting underwater signature. Parents are welcome to join and are bound to enjoy the experience too.

Sign your child up for one of the best kids scuba courses in UAE as soon as they are old enough, or sign up for an Ocean Explorer Day from 6 years old.
