Scuba Diving For Kids - PADI Junior Kids Open Water Diver Course - Orpheus Dive Center - PADI 5 Star Scuba Diving Centre | Singapore | Malaysia | Asia

Apollo Bio Metal Pro Scuba Diving is not only an activity for fun loving adults. Kids love to have fun too and scuba diving is enjoyed by many others as a family activity.

The Junior Open Water Diver course designed for kids and teenagers follows the same academic modules as the Adult PADI Open Water Diver course. To complete the course, Junior divers must meet all requirements for PADI Open Water Diver.

However, due to the nature of kids' short attention spans, the instructor to student ratio WILL BE REDUCED to 1 instructor to 2 kids for safety purposes.

Junior Open Water Divers may upgrade their certification level to PADI Open Water Diver when they reach the age of 15 with no additional requirements. However, if more than one year has passed since the diver earned the Junior certification, when requesting an upgrade, it is recommended that the diver complete a Scuba Review program.

Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water
200 metres swimming non stop, any stroke as long as you move!

Detailed Course Structure

	Knowledge Development Session
	5 modules of academic session to develop your knowledge in diving. This is usually conducted on a Monday evening at Orpheus Dive from 7pm to 10pm. During the session, the instructors will go through the completed knowledge reviews and evaluate any mistakes or areas where divers are uncertain or weak at. Upon complete understanding of the uncertainties, students are required to sit through a quiz followed by a final exam to ensure 100% mastery and how and when to apply the knowledge. Our in house course consultants will then tour the dive store with the divers to show them what basic gears should be acquired to make their diving more memorable and enjoyable.

	Skills Development Session
	5 modules of scuba skills development at the swimming pool. This is usually conducted on a Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7.00pm to 10.30pm, at Outram Secondary School. During the session, fundamental skills of scuba diving required to keep a diver safe will be taught. Divers will also be introduced to all diving equipment needed during the course. Even though the fees include all gears needed for the duration of the course, it is advisable that divers invest in their personal mask, fins, snorkel and wetsuit prior to the confined water session. Reason being is that students adapt faster using their own personal gear as they feel more comfortable and relaxed during the training. In addition, their next dive will need little or no adjustment to the equipment because they are already accustomed to their gear.

	Open Water Evaluation
	This is the most important and exciting part of the course. After all the knowledge and skills development and students showing competency in them, the open water training serves as an evaluation that student divers are able to take care of themselves and their buddy when they complete the course. Student divers will be evaluated based on all the skills that have been taught to them during their confined water training and development. Depending on the package you have selected (Pulau Tioman, Pulau Dayang, Pulua Redang, Pulau Perhentian and locally Pulau Hantu), you will head out for a weekend of fun, sun, sea and great memories to bring home.

There are about 18 PADI Dive Centres in Singapore and only a handful of them has the rating of a PADI 5 Star IDC - one of the highest rating given to a dive centre.

Read more about PADI Dive Centre Rating here.

Short of telling you why we are good, we will tell you what it takes to become a proper PADI 5 Star IDC Centre. Even though there are some PADI 5 Star Facilities which only meets minimal requirements, Orpheus Dive has far superceded the minimal requirements, ensuring that our divers have a one stop dive centre and dive club.

Checklist for a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility

	Equipment Retail
	As a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility, a dive centre must provide in-house retail. Orpheus Dive has a well stocked inventory store covering major brands such as Scubapro, Zeagle, TUSA, Seac Sub, Beauchat, Trident, XS Scuba, Underwater Kinetics and Problue. In Singapore, there ARE ONLY TWO dive centres that are into full retail business. Note to diver : There are dive centres that make claims that they do have a retail business. However, they only have an online retail arm that purchase stocks when a customer makes an order. Unlike us, our well stocked store has everything that a diver needs. And because of the volume purchase, we are able to offer lower prices compared to the rest of the dive centres. See our Absolute Campaign for more information

	Equipment Servicing
	Orpheus Dive Singapore is an Authorized Service Centre for Scubapro, Apollo, Zeagle and Seac Sub. We have a fulltime service technician that is solely in charge of helping divers service their equipment and handling their annual servicing needs.

	Equipment Rental
	Orpheus Dive services and manages their own rental gear, unlike many independent dive centres and instructors who are dependent on others for their rental needs. All rental gears are serviced on a quarterly basis to ensure that they are kept in prime conditions. For more information on rental gears

	Dive Courses
	We offer all level of courses from programs for kids of 8 years old to Professional courses such as the PADI Instructor Development Program. For the past 7 years, we have held a Instructor Development Program with PADI Course Director Azman Sulaiman. Orpheus Dive is also one of the very few dive centres in Singapore that has co-written Distinctive Specialties - Specialties that can only be taught by us, which is approved by PADI. View PADI Specialties

	Dive Travel Program
	All Dive Centres MUST BE REGISTERED as a legitimate company with a travel license to conduct business such as dive courses and dive trips. Our fulltime staff and independent instructors has dived in exotic destinations such as Raja Ampat and Mozambique. We will be able to customize your dive travel needs based on your experience and budget. Note to Diver : Diving with a dive centre without a valid travel license can spoil the entire weekend. Singapore Tourism Board and Land Transport Authority has the right to suspend the entire trip as this is legally not allowed.
