Course overview
The Bubblemaker is for small adventurers that want to experience what diving feels like. The program is conducted by a trained instructor in the safe environment of a pool. As always in life: no fun without a couple of rules. The instructor will explain the basic function of the dive gear and go over the most important things to take care of underwater, like how to breath and how to swim efficiently with fins. Then your little one is off into the water to have fun, swim around, blow bubbles and play.
No matter if your kid wants to become a diver later or just wants to have a little adventure – the Bubblemaker is fun!
A partent must be present for the whole duration of the Bubblemaker program, not necessarily in the water but at the side of the pool.
