The PADI Seal Team is for our young customers as of the age of 8, who want to learn to dive through completing exciting, action packed Aqua Missions in a pool. These missions integrate games with fun underwater activities whilst, at the same time teaching basic diving skills, under the direct supervision of our experienced (DBS enhanced, checked) PADI professional instructors. The Seal Team course gives the children a chance to do some cool stuff in the pool, meet new friends and share in the adventure of the underwater world.
