Introducing children and young people to the underwater world is an important
and beautiful task that we are happy to take on in all SUBEX diving centres.
On the one hand we offer dives for children and young people, on the other hand
they can learn to dive with us through special diving training programs. Diving
equipment for children is available everywhere.
For the age group from 8 to 14 years
We offer on the one hand dives, on the other hand they can learn diving
with us through special diving education programs.
Tailored Programs for Every Age
All programs are age-dependent and before the beginning the conversation
with the parents or guardians is sought to talk about the physical and
psychological condition of the child. In any case, the child/teenager must
have a level of development so that he/she is not physically or psychologically
overtaxed during the execution of the program. When deciding whether and when
to carry out the program, the interest as well as the well-being of the
child/teenager concerned is always of central importance.
On-Site Booking for Children's Courses
We do not recommend booking the children's courses online, but on site. If your child has never dived before, it makes more sense to do the free Try-Dive and after the Revelation dive on site first to see how the child reacts in the sea (there are no refunds for courses booked online).
