Children's Scuba Party
It is always a struggle to think of something new and exciting for your party, so here is something different. Whether celebrating a birthday, looking for a fun afternoon or evening out or even just a new activity for a group of friends.
Bring along a group of budding young scuba divers for a fun filled party with our professional, friendly CRB checked instructors in a safe pool environment.
As of the 1st August 2024, we have access to two locations
Oakham - sessions on a Saturday evening between 18:00 - 20:00.
Nottingham - sessions can generally be arranged for times and dates that are mutually convienent.
But if you have a pool and it meets all of the required safety standards then we can run a party at that location at times to suit.
We will make sure everyone has plenty of FUN !!!
This will be a party they will remember for years to come, something truly different, adventurous and great fun.
What do the children need to start?
They need to be aged 8+
A week prior to attending the party all participants are required to have completed our dive medical questionaire and diver responsiblity code. These are provided to each participant via the SSI online app.
It is very important that the required forms are correctly completed and signed and that any medical issues that are highlighted on the medical questionnaire have been approved with written evidence from a GP or diving physician. We are NOT able to allow participants to take part without these forms.
What is the Maximum party size?
Oakham: Minimum group size is 4 with a maximum of 12
Nottingham: Maximum group size is 4 - Ideal for small groups.
What do I need to bring with me?
- Participants should bring along a swimming costume, a towel and a Rash Vest or T-Shirt to wear in the pool.
Adult Supervisions
For children's parties we require at least one responsible adult to be present throughout. Young children must be supervised at all times
What will you do?
Following an initial briefing and equipment walk through, you will be kitted up, taken through the basics of breathing underwater.
The pool session will involve underwater team games, relays, egg & spoon races and other activities - age dependant. We can guarantee you plenty of fun, enjoyment and laughs along the way.
An underwater camera is provided to allow participants to take their own photo's and we'll also take some wonderful pictures at no additional charge (subject to consent forms being signed by ALL parties prior to the party).
We have our own pool or access to a pool
We try to be as flexible as possible and understand that in some circumstance completing the session at your location may be the best option for you.
This option is subject to location of pool and suitability, please speak to us as we are happy to use your pool if it meets the minimum requirements, numbers and costs may vary.
How do I book?
Due to the increasing popularity of Scuba Parties, bookings need to be made 3 - 4 months in advance (Oakham) to avoid disappointment. Nottingham has much more flexiblity.
Give us a ring or drop us an email or chat we will be happy to help.
Is this suitable for Youth Groups?
Absolutely if you looking for a fun evening for your organisation then get in touch. Have a look at our Youtube Channel for an evening we had with North Luffenham Scouts
What is Next?
This is about the children having fun, but you might find that you get asked if they can continue and learn to dive and there are so many ways that children can become more involved in scuba diving with many different programs to suit all ages from 8 upwards. As the future ambassadors of the oceans; getting children involved in such a thrilling and exciting hobby can really enrich their lives.
They can learn valuable life skills, discipline, organisation and responsibility whilst having fun and getting hands on understanding of diving theory. Most importantly though they will love the exhilaration of completing underwater tasks, swimming amongst the coral and recognising different fish species; there's no adventure quite like it!
For those that are 8+ they can join our SSI Explorers. This is also a great option for older children who are not ready to take on the SSI Junior Open Water Course or Junior Scuba Diver and just want to make memories and bubbles in the pool without the in depth dive theory or the responsibility of becoming a fully certified Open Water Diver.
However, some children will feel ready to take on the challenge of the SSI Junior Open Water Diver Course and will become life long lovers of the underwater world with a certification ready to take them on adventures across the globe for the rest of their lives!
