BUBBLEMAKER
Bubblemaker is as fun as it sounds – a chance for kids to blow bubbles by scuba diving. Children who are 8-10 years old can use scuba gear to breathe underwater and swim around in shallow water. Have a party or celebrate a birthday by throwing a memorable, exciting Bubblemaker event with friends and family. A child must be at least 8 years old.
