From the first bubbles to their own certification

Each level builds on the one before. You don’t have to decide in advance — together we look at what suits age, swimming confidence and length of holiday.

Why Bubblemakers

Safety is the foundation.
Fun is the goal.

01

Small groups

Every child is seen, every pace is allowed.

02

PADI instructors

Certified instructors experienced in teaching children — in German, English, French or Arabic.

03

Shallow water first

Practice happens where the child can stand — at a calm, shallow spot on the reef. Deeper only once they feel safe.

04

Parents always there

On the Bubblemaker, one parent comes along for free. Watch, take photos or snorkel yourself — you decide how close you want to be. Snorkel gear is included. With a diving certification you can even dive along — also included, only rented diving equipment costs €15 per day. Just let us know when booking.

What your day looks like

From hotel to certificate

All you need is swimwear, a towel and sunscreen. We take care of everything else.

1

🌅 We pick you up

In the morning we pick you up at your hotel and take you to the boat — and back again in the evening. On the Bubblemaker, one parent can come along for free.

2

🤿 The secret diver language

On board you get your equipment in children’s sizes and learn the divers’ hand signals — even how to say “hello” to the fish.

3

🫧 Into the water

First you snorkel at the surface, then you go underwater. On the Bubblemaker you dive one-to-one with your very own instructor for 30 minutes.

4

🏆 Your certificate

At the end you get your Bubblemaker certificate or your diving certification — to show off proudly at home.

Instructor diving together with a junior diver over the reef

Always someone with you who has done a thousand dives.

Every child dives with an instructor at their side — from the first breath in shallow water to the last qualifying dive on the reef.

Questions from parents

What we are asked most often

Your child should feel comfortable in the water and be able to swim a short distance unaided. For the Bubblemaker in shallow water, confident splashing and a little courage are enough. The Junior Open Water Diver requires genuine swimming confidence — a 200-metre swim and ten minutes of treading water are part of the course.
