👉 Here you can read in detail how we organize DSD at Southern Dreams Diving Club.

Where do we do the dives?

In Bali, the sea conditions can change from day to day. The good thing is that from SDDC, we dive in more than 50 different spots along the entire east coast of the island! Every day, we look at the sea conditions and choose the best spots where we have the ideal conditions so that you can enjoy your try dive to the fullest and safely.

The most popular diving spots for the try dive are the Liberty Wreck in Tulamben, Jemeluk Bay in Amed, and the Blue Lagoon area in Padangbai. All of them are unique and full of life.

You will see all kinds of corals and hundreds of reef fish, and if we are lucky, we can also see turtles, octopuses, squid, some wrasse, or barracuda.

Try Dive for kids

Discover scuba diving for kids is quite an experience. Their natural instincts make them more receptive, and learning to dive is much easier.

In order to participate in this experience, the children must have some familiarity with the sea. They should enjoy spending time in the water and engaging in related activities such as swimming, diving, and splashing. However, they do not need to be expert swimmers.

Minimum age

According to diving standards, 8-year-old children can do a Try Dive, but their status as minors and their nature in the development phase must be taken into account.

Every child is unique and different, and their physical and mental development occur at their own pace. This can make it challenging to determine a specific age when they can safely start diving. When deciding whether a child is ready to start diving, their maturity level, reasoning skills, and physical limitations should be carefully considered.

Before signing your child up for diving, you should ask yourself these questions and talk to your kid:
  • Does the child really want to dive?
  • Can he swim?
  • Does he feel comfortable in the water?
  • Is he medically fit to dive?
  • Is he/she mature enough?
  • Can the child feel comfortable telling an unfamiliar adult (instructor) that he or she feels uncomfortable or doesn’t understand something?

If you and your child can answer YES to all the questions, then the kid can enjoy the try dive. He will have an instructor just for him with whom he will learn to communicate, work on the buddy system and relax while discovering the underwater world.
