Diving for children: when to start and how to prepare your child

Introducing children to diving at an early age builds a healthy relationship with the sea that will last a lifetime.

The right age to start

Children from 8 years old can start with a guided diving experience in the pool. From the age of 10 years, you can join official courses, taking into account the appropriate level for each age.

How to prepare your child for diving

Start at the beach
Let him play with the mask and fins in the shallow water until he gets familiar with them before thinking about diving for real.

The pool is school
Learning to breathe with a regulator in the pool eliminates fear and builds confidence before the sea.

Never pressure
If your child shows fear or hesitation, do not pressure him. Pressure turns the experience into a negative memory. Let him choose his time.
