PADI Seal Team
PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Centre based at Littlehampton Marina, West Sussex
£150 per diver for five sessions
Help your child develop their scuba skills with PADI Seal Team at Abyss Scuba School. Designed for children aged eight and above, this structured introduction takes place in our private heated indoor pool.
Through five guided AquaMissions, children learn basic diving skills and put them into practice through underwater games and activities. Clear explanations and support from our PADI professionals help them become familiar with their equipment and enjoy learning something new.
Course Highlights
What You’ll Learn
The first five AquaMissions introduce basic scuba skills, including breathing underwater, clearing water from a mask, recovering a regulator and controlling buoyancy.
Children learn how to use their equipment and communicate underwater, building on what they have practised as they progress through the programme.
Practical Training
Each session begins with an explanation of the planned activities before children practise in the pool under the direct supervision of a PADI professional.
Underwater games and practical challenges help children use their new skills. Regular sessions give them opportunities to become more comfortable with the equipment and familiar with diving routines.
On Completion
Children earn PADI Seal Team recognition after successfully completing the first five AquaMissions and their required skills.
They can then continue with PADI Master Seal Team, exploring further activities through speciality AquaMissions. Seal Team is a pool programme and does not qualify children to dive independently in open water.
