Clearing the waters: DiveInclusive FAQ
Will my child be safe?
All courses will be carried out in a swimming pool and run by experienced instructors.
What is the minimum eligible age?
The minimum age is 8 and the maximum age is 16.
Who can participate in DiveInclusive programs?
DiveInclusive aims to create a more inclusive environment in scuba diving by actively supporting groups that may face unique challenges in accessing the sport.
Currently, we focus on children from ethnic minority backgrounds due to their underrepresentation within the scuba diving community. This emphasis helps foster a welcoming, empowering space for children who may not have previously seen themselves reflected in this activity.
We are also exploring opportunities to extend our program to include young carers and children with disabilities in the very near future, further broadening our mission to make scuba diving accessible to all.
What Opportunities Are Available for Children Not from Ethnic Minority Backgrounds?
While DiveInclusive specifically focuses on providing free scuba diving opportunities to children from ethnic minority backgrounds, we wholeheartedly encourage all children to engage with the exciting world of scuba diving. For those not eligible for our free program, we recommend exploring opportunities with our trusted partner, JC Scuba. They offer a range of high-quality scuba diving courses for children of all backgrounds.
For more information about their courses, schedules, and fees, you can contact JC Scuba directly at info@jcscuba.net or visit their website at www.jcscuba.net.
