What Will they do?
Bubblemakers attend our centre along with their parent/guardian supervisor to allow us to fit the youngster for SCUBA equipment and then be introduced to the world of SCUBA diving, the equipment they will be using, how to be safe and, not least, the underwater fun and games that we'll have in the pool.
After arriving at our local pool facilities - generally Oakham School pool, Kilburn Road, Oakham, the Bubblemakers will: -
- Put on their equipment, mask, snorkel and fins.
- Submerge in the pool to a maximum of 2 metres.
- Swim underwater whilst trying to contain their excitement, smiles and waving!
- Play games, throw underwater toys and generally have a great time experiencing the freedom that us divers value so much!

"On Saturday I attended the BubbleMaker SCUBA course with Dive Rutland. At first I was a bit nervous and scared, but my Scuba instructor, Tracey, was really kind. My Dad was there to support and help me too so once I stopped worrying and started to have fun, there was only one word to describe it - AMAZING! Using the SCUBA equipment and being able to breath underwater was sooo cool! If you do this, I know you will love it too! It's way better than just swimming!
I had so much fun and Tracey was great! I can't wait to go again! Thank you Tracey!" Amelia Robbins, aged 10. |
