Begin in the pool
Bubblemaker and Seal Team keep the first scuba experience in a controlled pool environment, where skills can be repeated without pressure to move into ocean diving.
Xico’s most popular kids paths are supervised ocean Discover Scuba Diving and PADI Junior Open Water certification. Younger children can also start with controlled pool programs, while already-certified junior divers can continue into advanced training.

These are the two family options Xico books most often: a supervised ocean scuba experience without certification, or the complete Junior Open Water certification path.
A supervised ocean scuba experience for a young diver who wants real diving without committing to a full certification course.
The full entry-level certification path with knowledge development, confined-water skills and open-water training for a young diver ready to become certified.
Bubblemaker and Seal Team are good options when a child wants to begin in shallow, controlled water before choosing an ocean experience or certification path.
A simple first experience breathing underwater in shallow pool water with direct instructor supervision and child-sized scuba gear.
A structured pool program that develops real scuba skills through instructor-led AquaMissions, games and challenges.
You do not need to choose the most advanced option. The right starting point is the one that matches the child’s current comfort, maturity and interest in continuing after the first session.
