Introduce a child to breathing underwater with a PADI-led Bubble Maker on Koh Chang. This one-day open-sea program runs in shallow water, uses child-sized equipment, and pairs short underwater time with on-boat instruction.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A bright morning on Koh Chang, the boat’s bow splits a glassy bay and the reef below seems to breathe. Children in small, colorful BCDs follow a PADI pro into waist-deep water, cheeks puffing tiny clouds as regulators deliver their first breaths underwater. The ocean here is patient, the current gentle, and the shallow reef invites curiosity rather than challenge.

History
Koh Chang is part of Mu Ko Chang National Park; fishing and small-scale agriculture shaped its coastal settlements while park protections, established in the 1980s, limit development in many bays.
Conservation
Reefs here are fragile—operators promote no-touch policies, limit group sizes, and recommend reef-safe sunscreen to reduce coral stress.

Book a morning slot
Morning departures usually mean calmer seas and cooler temperatures—better for first-time divers.
Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Coral reefs are sensitive; choose reef-safe sunscreen and reapply under shade before entering the water.
Pack a change of clothes and towel
