Children Dive Programs

Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, find things underwater or float like an astronaut? Well come and find out with the Saigon Seal Team! Here you go on special Aquamissions with PADI Instructors where you learn the skills of scuba and become an ambassador for the underwater world! As a member of the PADI SEAL TEAM your skills help you to go further into Wreck diving and Photography and maybe one day the Open Water World!


The PADI Seal team is based in a swimming pool where children learn the fundamentals of diving in a confined, safe environment. Here at Rainbow Divers we bring a unique flare from teaching in schools to private lessons. Well trained and experienced PADI Instructors guide the children through initially 5 Aquamissions learning how to be safe underwater and of course fun and enjoyment. This then certifies as a PADI Seal Team member.


The majority of students love the underwater world so much they continue on a further 10 Aquamissions learning things like navigation and wreck diving to become a PADI Master Seal Team Member. Unique to Rainbow Divers children can do an additional 10 Aquamissions to qualify as a Rainbow Seal Team Junior Assistant. These 25 Aquamissions cater for over 30 hours of safe and exciting learning opening children to the new world of Scuba.

In order for children to take part they have to be aged 8 and above and feel comfortable in water too deep to stand. All equipment is provided by Rainbow Divers using only specialised children sizes. Learning takes place poolside through interactive teaching with an emphasis on the environment as well as action and adventure. Students are provided with a Seal Team Aquamission and Log book that contains a DVD, learning materials as well as commemorative emblems and stickers.

At Rainbow divers we have a ratio of a maximum of 4 children to 1 PADI Instructor. We pride ourselves on being the best facility in Vietnam where we have certified in excess of over 200 children in Scuba Diving. Safety is of the upmost importance to us – a lesson children learn in their first Scuba Diving session.

So whether you are aged 8 or 80 come and develop your diving skills, explore a variety of Aquamissions, meet friends and share in the adventure of the underwater world. And best of all join a winning team – become a PADI Seal Team member!
