Parental Guidance
This course is designed to be theory-based, focusing on the foundational knowledge and skills needed for scuba diving. While we will cover key concepts such as breathing techniques, buoyancy control, safety procedures, and dive planning, all hands-on practice should be done under the supervision of a certified diving instructor or a responsible adult with experience in scuba diving.
Since scuba diving involves physical risks and requires proper equipment and safety measures, it's essential that learners practice these skills in a real-world environment under professional guidance. This course will provide the theoretical understanding, but learners will need practical experience in a supervised, controlled environment to apply what they have learned safely.
Parents or guardians should ensure that learners engage in hands-on activities only in appropriate settings, such as during certified diving lessons or in swimming pools, with supervision from certified instructors. This approach ensures both safety and effective learning as students build confidence and mastery of the skills covered in the course.
