Try Scuba for children

The SSI Try Scuba program is a playful and safe first introduction to diving for children aged 8 and 9. Fun, personal attention, and trust are central.

The Try Scuba program for children is a fun and safe first introduction to diving for kids aged 8 and 9 years old. Under personal guidance, young divers experience what it’s like to breathe underwater and move weightlessly, all in a relaxed and playful setting.

We start with a clear and calm explanation about the diving equipment and what will happen underwater. After that, the children make a shallow introductory dive, fully tailored to their pace and comfort. There is plenty of room to get used to the experience, ask questions, and most importantly: have fun.

The dive takes place in shallow, sheltered water, where safety and supervision are optimal. Our instructors have extensive experience guiding young divers and ensure a positive, relaxed, and unforgettable first diving experience.

The Try Scuba program is ideal for children who are curious about the underwater world and want to discover what diving feels like in an accessible way—without performance pressure, but with plenty of attention and enthusiasm.

From the age of 10, children may participate in a regular introductory dive, but they can also choose to (continue to) join a Try Scuba dive. This way, we always match the child’s confidence, experience, and wishes.
