PADI Seal Team
Do you think that you’ve got what it takes to become a member of PADI’s most elite team?
At Ocean View we turn 8-11 year old novice water babies, into highly trained underwater Aquanauts. The PADI Seal Team course is great to do with either your friends or a fantastic way to make some new ones.
PADI Seal Team is a pool-only experience, conducted by certified, trained PADI Professionals, these adventures teach our young explorers excellent skills and sets some fun and unique underwater challenges.
The PADI Seal Team is for young divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by doing exciting AquaMissions. It’s a fun activity for both boys and girls aged 8 and above. It helps children learn responsibility and a respect towards the aquatic environment.
AquaMissions 1–5 cover basic scuba diving skills, such as breathing underwater, clearing a mask of water, recovering a regulator and swimming around experiencing the sensation of being weightless. Each session lasts about an hour. Complete these initial 5 AquaMissions and become a recognized PADI Seal Team Member.
Seal Team Sundays
The course is run once a month, usually the 3rd weekend of the month.
Once your young explorer has completed their PADI Seal Team course, they could move onto the Master Seal Team course, or if they are over 10 years old, they could move onto the PADI Open Water course.
The Minimum Age for Scuba Diving.
There are minimum age requirements for Scuba Diving for a reason. A lot of it has to do with your child’s development, being under the pressure of deeper water, and particularly breathing compressed gas. Whilst the training agencies all have their minimum age, which we follow, there should also be considerations per child, it is important to take into account each child’s physical and cognitive abilities when considering if they are ready to take up Scuba Diving.

Childrens Parties
Why not treat your young scuba diver to a party to remember! We can offer the opportunity to have a Bubblemaker party under the close supervision of our Instructors and Divemasters. The pool is also available for hire for children’s swimming and pool parties. We can provide staff supervision if required. We also have a club room upstairs where food and drink can be consumed after the children have finished playing in the pool.
