Step 1: Getting to Know the Scuba Gear

One of the most exciting parts of the Bubblemaker course is introducing children to real scuba equipment. Aqua Ventura’s instructors show kids how to handle their gear, adjust their masks, and manage their regulators. With guidance, young divers begin to understand how the equipment helps them breathe and move underwater. For most kids, this is their first time using scuba gear, and they find it fascinating to learn how each part works.

Through this hands-on approach, kids start building familiarity with scuba equipment, preparing them for safe underwater exploration. Aqua Ventura instructors encourage them to ask questions and explore, creating a supportive space where learning and fun go hand in hand.

Step 2: Breathing and Clearing Techniques

One of the essential skills every diver needs is the ability to breathe calmly and control their regulator. Instructors guide kids as they take their first breaths underwater, reassuring them and helping them adjust to this new sensation. Breathing underwater can feel unusual at first, but with the support of Aqua Ventura’s instructors, kids quickly learn to relax and feel comfortable.

The Bubblemaker course also teaches kids how to clear their mask and regulator. These are vital skills that empower young divers to handle simple challenges while they explore the water. By learning how to manage these aspects early on, kids gain confidence and develop a sense of independence underwater.

Step 3: Time to Explore Underwater!

Once kids are comfortable with their gear and breathing underwater, the fun begins! The Bubblemaker course allows young divers to swim around the pool under the watchful eye of their PADI instructor. This is where they truly get to experience the excitement of scuba, moving freely and watching their bubbles rise to the surface as they breathe.

For many children, this is the highlight of the course—they get to explore, play, and feel like real scuba divers. Aqua Ventura’s instructors encourage them to take their time, enjoy the sensation of swimming underwater, and just have fun. This experience often sparks a lifelong interest in scuba diving, opening the door to future underwater adventures.
