SDI Future Buddies Program - Children's Scuba Diving

Do you have a family and you want to get your children involved in scuba diving so you can all dive as a family? Then SDI has the program for them.  The SDI Future Buddies program is a half day course for children between the ages of 8 & 9. The program provides a safe and easy introduction to scuba diving in a controlled environment under the direct supervision of an SDI instructor.

Your children are given the opportunity to try breathing underwater in confined water setting – a swimming pool or protected shallow bay. Your child(ren) will learn about the history of diving, diving equipment and the marine environment.

If you after completing the SDI Future Buddies Program your child(ren) loves scuba diving and wants to become a certified diver then once they are 10 years old they can enrol in the SDI Junior Open Water Diver course. Cool!

There are some pre requisites for the SDI Future Buddies Program:

• You need to be 8 - 9 years.
• You need to be comfortable in the water and have basic swimming skills.
• You should also be in good overall general health to dive, particularly your respiratory and circulatory system. You will be asked to self-certify before starting a course or entering the water (in the case of under 18's by the Parent or Guardian).
• And you will need to complete a small amount of paperwork – the SDI forms can be downloaded and completed in advance (in the case of under 18's by the Parent or Guardian).

Please note that children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times during this course.
