Let young adventurers try scuba with the PADI Bubblemaker program in Pondicherry, designed for children from age 8. In shallow, warm water they breathe underwater for the first time, gliding to a maximum of 2m with an instructor close by, well before they're ready for the Bay of Bengal.
PADI Bubblemaker is a non-certification experience for ages 8 and up, using child-sized equipment and a playful, closely supervised confined-water format under the Project AWARE ethic.
Bubblemaker takes place in confined, shallow water (maximum 2m) at the Pondicherry dive base rather than the open Bay of Bengal, giving children a safe, controlled first taste of scuba. The warm 27-30C water keeps young divers comfortable throughout.
