There are two new programs designed to introduce kids to the underwater world — SASY and Bubblemaker.

These programs are a safe, 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 with Red Sail Sports when you visit the Big Island of Hawaii!

Bubblemaker
For kids 8-11, this pool dive program is designed to safely 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.

SASY
Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youth, or SASY is the latest innovation in scuba equipment for young children. Kids ages 6 and up can now use a scuba unit which combines a regulator and a buoyancy compensator so they can 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.
