Scuba Diving for Kids - PADI Dive Courses

Scuba Diving for Children – Diani Beach Kenya

Water, fun and adventure are ingredients for a happy family holiday and at Diving the Crab the kids can enjoy all three with a PADI Scuba Diving course. From the excitement of the first breath underwater to discovering how easy it is to do somersaults while feeling totally weightless, to learning how to assemble scuba diving equipment and exploring incredible reefs. Send the children on their first magical underwater wonderland adventure at some of Kenya’s most renowned dive sites – it will be a holiday to remember for a lifetime.

Our dive centres at both Diani Beach, and the Sands at Chale, offer a range of courses specifically designed for children which adhere to the high safety standards set out by PADI – the world leaders in scuba diving education. Courses range from just a couple of hours, to the full Junior Open Water Course, which takes 3-5 days to complete.
