Bubblemaker in Protaras: A kinder, shallower dive into Cyprus’s underwater world.
The PADI Bubblemaker course in Protaras introduces children to diving with dedicated instructors in a sheltered bay. Designed for eight- to eleven-year-olds, the experience pairs a brief classroom orientation with hands-on practice and a supervised shallow-water tour so kids can meet local fish and have photos taken while staying at a maximum depth of two metres.
