3 PADI Courses for the Whole Family

While some dive courses are reserved for adults or experienced divers, there are many options for young and old. Why not start with one of these three family-friendly ideas...

Discovery Scuba Experience

For adults and children ages 10 and up, the PADI Discover Scuba® Dive Experience is a fun introduction to the practice of scuba diving. You'll have the opportunity to don your scuba gear, jump into the water and experience what it's really like to breathe underwater.

Try Diving offers an unforgettable group experience. For many, it also opens the door to a shared lifelong interest as a family.

Project AWARE® Specialist

The Project AWARE Specialist Course is an in-person course with no minimum age restrictions or dive experience, and is a great way for families of all ages to learn about issues in the ocean and other aquatic habitats.

From overfishing and marine litter to coral reefs and sustainability, the course uses the digital booklet "Our World, Our Water" to gain a deeper understanding of threats to our environment and how to reduce them through everyday action.

You and your family will take away ocean conservation knowledge and ideas to explore as a family - eg, reduce plastic consumption, plan sustainable meals, create school presentations or clean up local beaches or rivers.
