Wailea-Makena, located on Maui’s sun-soaked southern coast in Hawaii, offers an exceptional gateway into the underwater realm for young adventurers. Wailea Scuba, Surf & Paddle steps beyond ordinary family activities with their tailored Bubble Maker Class — a carefully designed introduction to scuba diving for kids aged 8 to 9. This program not only builds essential scuba skills but wraps learning in a fun, supportive environment that inspires confidence and awe beneath the waves.
Set at the Fairmont Kea Lani’s main pool, the class starts with a thorough safety briefing and gear introduction. Here begins the transformation: kids and their parents don full scuba equipment and practice underwater breathing in warm, calm waters. The sensation of weightlessness and silent movement captivates young minds as instructors guide them through engaging games and skill drills. Parents are welcome to join, turning this into a shared family experience few outdoor activities can match.
