Parental consent is required for both programs. Parents are welcome to watch — and many choose to dive alongside their children. If you&#8217;d like to dive as a family, get in touch and we&#8217;ll arrange it together.</p>

Bubble Maker is a single session — your child&#8217;s first breath underwater in very shallow water. Seal Team is a structured series of sessions (AquaMissions) where children learn real diving skills progressively. Many children start with Bubble Maker and move on to Seal Team.</p>
