To Spike, just to say thank you for a great weekend and for taking me on the dives, see you soon!
Charlie EwerI've been away with the Subaqualholics team on a couple of dive trips now, and I had heaps of fun! The staff are great - really laid back and chilled, and make everything really easy. I'd always been wary of organised dive trips, but if you want to laugh your head off, make great friends, enjoy the ocean and just have a ball, then these are the guys to do it with! lots of love xxx
IanThanks to all of the Subaquaholics team for putting on another well organised weekend of diving at Brixham. I'm hoping to pop down to the coast again before the summer is out if I can find a gap in my diary - the diving weekends seem to be clashing with weddings this year!
PADI Seal Team ProgrammeThe PADI Seal Team is for young divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by doing exciting scuba AquaMissions. Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater or float effortlessly like an astronaut?
There are AquaMissions that introduce you to wreck, navigation, buoyancy, underwater photography, environmental awareness and more.In addition, it provides parents with a structured program that lets their children develop skills, learn about the aquatic environment and have a lot of good, clean fun. This is also an excellent way to introduce kids to scuba diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.
Subaquaholics run the Seal team programme every Friday evening at Thornbury leisure centre.
The Equipment Don’t worry about the equipment, we bring it all with us, all you need is your swimming costume/trunks and a T’shirt or thin wetsuit for the pool. All of our equipment is designed especially for kids and is fully serviced every 6 months. The only piece of equipment that is useful to get if you have a birthday coming up is your own mask and snorkel.
Course materials
The course follows a structure written by PADI and there is a logbook and DVD available to accompany the course. This is not essential as it is an additional £40, however it has loads of useful information all about the aquamissions, plus it teaches the kids how to record their diving history. The £40 includes a recognised certification card a bit like a driving licence once they have completed the first 5 aquamissions.
What happens next? The course can keep running for as many weeks as you like as there is always something to learn. After your first 5 weeks you can qualify as a Seal Team Diver. After a further 10 sessions you can qualify as a Master Seal team diver. The next stage is the junior openwater course where we take you to the sea!

Before you jump in the water we need to cover some paperwork, please can you ask your parents or guardians to complete the attached medical questionnaire and liability release forms, they need to be signed, dated and returned prior to the start of the course. We may take a few piccies along the way so could you all sign the photo form if you are happy to have your photo taken.
