Junior Holiday Courses

Looking for something different for your children to do over the Summer holidays? Why not book them on our Scuba Diving course so they can experience the underwater world! A great activity and life time skill/qualification to have.

If you want to learn to scuba dive, take a PADI Junior Open Water Diver course, the most widely recognised and respected diving certification in the world.

Within a few days, you can be enjoying the underwater world.

As a certified PADI Junior Open Water Diver, you’ll have the freedom to dive with a buddy in this country or abroad.

If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit from these courses may apply to the open water program.

So what are you waiting for? …Learn to dive today!

Experience the real adventure of Scuba Diving with the PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver Course.  You will expand on your diving knowledge and skills by trying some of diving’s most rewarding and exciting speciality areas such as the 2 core dives in Deep diving and Navigation diving.

With your instructor you then pick 3 additional elective dive areas that interest you, such as Wreck diving, Peak Performance Buoyancy diving, Dry Suit diving and Boat diving.

You will upgrade your depth rating with the PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver course to 21 metres and gain access to some of the world’s best wrecks and reefs.
Continuing the adventure is one of the best moves you can make.

You will upgrade your depth rating with the Advanced course. There is no classroom content – just two days of diving.
