Families and Children
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving |
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving are rare in terms of being one of the few sporting activities that can be enjoyed by the entire family and at Orca we pride ourselves in working closely with both families and children to introduce them to our sport. |
Snorkelling and Scuba Diving Courses for Children |
|
The staff at Orca have extensive experience at running courses for children with our very own children’s club night to support a full range of activities. |
On Friday evenings at 6.30pm we run a snorkelling session for children of all ages (plus Mums and Dads). This helps build enormous confidence as we teach the basic skills of snorkelling and skin diving. Many of our students use these skills on holiday and are happy to have simply learnt how to get the most out of snorkelling alone.
For those that want to, we then offer a range of opportunities to experience scuba diving |
 |
Children from as young as eight can take part in a PADI Bubblemaker course and start to learn how to have fun under the water as well as learning something about the undersea world. |
|
 |
From age ten children can enrol in the PADI Seal Team and start to learn the skills of scuba diving in a fun and safe way. We have consistently found that children who learn to dive through the seal team go on to shine when it comes to qualifying as a full open water scuba diver. |
|
Finally children can become a full PADI Open Water Scuba Diver from the age of 10 though at Orca we will always advice parents as to how ready a child is to undertake a full course to make sure that everyone gets the best possible experience.
If you want to learn to dive as a family this is something we are used to arranging as we regularly accommodate family groups in our pool sessions. |
Birthday Parties
Many of the children that snorkel and dive with us on a Friday evening want to extend their experiences to their friends and as a result we offer Pool, Snorkelling and Scuba parties. This tends to be a great way to amuse the children whilst giving them a great experience as they learn to do such things as throwing Frisbees under the water. For more details you will need to contact the shop as we are able to accommodate a variety of options on the important day. To Book get a quote on a pool party please click here |
