There are many diving certification options for the whole family to get wet while on vacation in Hawaii. Not only does Island Divers Hawaii offer the full range of PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) courses, but we offer free transportation to and from your Waikiki hotel! That way all you have to worry about is how much fun you will have learning to dive with the whole family.
The Bubblemaker program introduces children between 8 and 10 years old to the underwater world with fun and exciting games in a swimming pool like search and recovery of toys and underwater torpedo toss. The course covers simple diving knowledge and some basic dive skills. Parents are welcome to join in the fun and enjoy the games along with the children!
The PADI Seal Team is a swimming pool based course designed specifically for children aged 8-10. During the course children are introduced to basic scuba diving skills and techniques and have 5 Aqua missions to complete for the course. These missions teach kids the basics of diving like buoyancy control, mask clearing, and regulator recovery.. After building a solid foundation of scuba skills, kids move on to specialty Aqua Missions, like night dive, wreck dive, and other fun PADI specialty courses restructured for children.
Discover Scuba Diving is a one day experience, designed to introduce you to the beauty of the Underwater World and is a good way to find out if you want to continue the adventure by doing a course. We start in the pool then we take you out for the day to one of the Oahu’s fantastic shallow reefs to make two dives with an Instructor.
The PADI Scuba Diver Course is a 2 day course that covers the basic skills and knowledge you need to dive safely, with 2 open water dives to a maximum depth of 40 feet. This course requires less time than the PADI Open Water Diver course, resulting in a limited certification. This is a particularly good course to take if you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the company of a professional dive guide in shallow depths or if you have limited time to devote to a full scuba certification.
The Open Water Diver Course is a 3-4 day course that covers the same skills and knowledge as the Scuba Diver Course, but also teaches about dive planning and more in depth diving theory.
Junior Open Water certification allows children between the ages of 10 and 11 to dive to 40 feet with a certified parent and PADI professional and children twelve to fourteen to 60 feet, accompanied by a certified adult.
Learn together as a family and make your future family holidays underwater adventures you can all enjoy together in the years to come. The minimum age for PADI Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver Courses is 10 years old and there is no maximum age, so the whole family, including grandma and grandpa, can enjoy together.
