The PADI Approved Youth Training Centre Difference

PADI Approved Youth Training Centres must follow strict health and safety practices and comply with UK government legislation for working with young people.

This includes implementing a Dive Centre Child Protection Policy with dedicated liaison and carrying out comprehensive DBS (Disclosure Barring Checks) with all PADI professionals before allowing them to work with young people.

When you choose to work with a PADI Approved Youth Training Centre, you can feel confident your young persons are enrolled with the most instructionally sold diver training system available worldwide.

Your child’s introduction to the underwater world with PADI will open the door to a lifetime of discovery and exploration.
