Bring your child(ren) along and introduce them to the wonderful world of diving, you know they will thank you.

Try Scuba Pool

Just like the Try Scuba Diving programme for adultsKids Corner | Try Scuba Diving the SSI Try Scuba Pool programme is a chance for kids to have a go at diving.

The structure of the kids programme is similar to that followed by adults. It is a half day course that covers equipment, theory and safety. Once these basics have been covered then it is off to the pool to begin exploring underwater and blowing bubbles!

The cost of the Try Scuba Pool package is €85. Minimum age 8.
