A Caribbean splash for kids!!!

At Patagon Dive Center we observe a growing interest for starting snorkeling and SCUBA diving at an earlier age as more and more parents encourage their kids to explore the underwater world.

PADI standards allows children as young as 5 years old to take snorkeling lessons and kids as young as 8 years old to take SCUBA shallow dives (6 feet max.). Youngsters of 10 can join the adults' beginner dives and/or get their PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification.

At Patagon Dive Center we love to work with children and we are proud for taking a lead, over the years, for introducing the experience of the sea to youngsters. Our professional staff have the necessary training and experience to attend to our young customers.
We can also provide the kids with the proper fit sizes when comes to snorkel gear, SCUBA gear, and wet suits.
