About this experience

As young as 8 years old, children can have their first scuba diving experience with our PADI instructors at WaterColors in Boracay, one of the world’s best beaches. Bubblemaker is as fun as it sounds – a chance for kids to blow bubbles by scuba diving. Kids can use scuba gear to breathe underwater and swim around in shallow water. They can even have a party or celebrate a birthday by throwing a memorable, exciting Bubblemaker event or do it in line with Discover Scuba (10 yo+) for older friends and family members. You can give your kids a glimpse into the scuba diving lifestyle that you love so much and set them on the path to becoming a future scuba diver. Scuba diving is not only a fun activity for kids to enjoy, but it also encourages an active lifestyle, promotes healthy growth and development, develop their social skills, and can even help with self-esteem. Kids must be comfortable in the water, but no prior experience is necessary. Parental approval is required.
