Try Scuba Kids

Try Scuba is designed for anyone who wants to experience breathing underwater without committing to a full dive course. This program offers a safe and accessible introduction to scuba diving in our aquarium, under the direct supervision of an SSI Professional.

What can you expect?

Try Scuba is an experience program and does not lead to a diving certification. The focus is on comfort, basic safety, and getting a first impression of diving. During the program, you’ll get acquainted with the equipment and learn the most important basic principles before entering the water.

For Try Scuba Kids, we maintain a 2:1 ratio, meaning we allow a maximum of 2 participants per instructor for safety reasons. If you, as a parent, are already certified and wish to join your child, this rule still applies.

All activities are tailored for a relaxed and controlled first experience.
