Red Sail Sports offers two pre-scuba diving programs for kids: SASY and Bubblemaker. Both programs provide your children with the opportunity to become comfortable in the water at an early age, while teaching them to respect the ocean and its valuable marine life.

Diving Activities For Kids

SASY
Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youth, or SASY is the latest innovation in scuba equipment for young children. Ages 6 & up can now use a scuba unit which combines a regulator and a buoyancy compensator to breathe from a continuous air supply while floating safely on the surface. Where normal snorkels can leak and frustrate young children, the SASY unit lets them breathe continually while keeping their faces in the water. This allows them to watch and interact with divers below.

SASY uses either a 13- or 19- cubic foot tank, which fits into a special holder. Two small straps on either side keep the tank from rolling. The unit's regulator hose runs from the tank under the arm and is attached so the mouthpiece stays in front of the child.

The mouthpiece attachment is also designed to prevent kids from removing the vest and breathing below the surface. The vest, which incorporates 3/4-inch foam, provides 7 to 8 pounds of buoyancy. It has two adjustments: one is at the shoulders, and the other is a crotch strap. The strap keeps the unit in place and allows the child full use of the internal buoyancy. The buoyancy is situated so that the child can be upright in the water when he or she is not kicking. SASY not only allows youngsters to enjoy scuba diving but also introduces them to the marine environment. Kids can now join their diving parents on an ocean scuba adventure!

(Ages 6 & up)

SASY in the Pool
Includes a short equipment briefing and skills assessment. Then a tour off the beach if conditions allow, otherwise in the pool. Total time approx. 30-40 minutes.

SASY on a Dive Boat
This is a repeat SASY as the pool experience is a prerequisite to the open water experience. Includes a briefing and supervision on the afternoon dive boat. Must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

SASY on a Catamaran
Includes a short equipment briefing and skills assessment under direct supervision. Then supervised with other snorkelers. No pool skills are required prior to this trip. Choose between the Half Day Luncheon Snorkel Sail or the Afternoon Snorkel Sail.

 

 

Bubblemaker

 

 For kids 8-11, this pool dive program is designed to introduce young adventurers to the thrill of breathing underwater. Youngsters can now get their first taste of scuba in a safe, controlled environment. The dive takes place in the shallow end of a pool with a maximum depth of 2 metres/6 feet. PADI instructors are there to teach proper scuba techniques to the new divers and activities are integrated into the course in order to enliven the program. Bubblemaker gives kids the opportunity to experience water in a new way, making it the perfect beginning for a lifetime of diving. The Bubblemaker program is a safe and exciting way to introduce young divers to the world of scuba and encourage them to continue the fun of diving in the future. Get your kids started off on the right fin!
