PROPER PARTIES
GET OUT THERE
In the last issue of Crawford Times, we introduced Proper Parties featuring cool ideas for
your child’s big day. So far we’ve covered cave parties, thrill-ride parties and water obstacle
parties. In this issue, we feature underwater, quad biking and tree top fun!
Splash fest
Urban Dive, Northcliff
Urban Dive specialises in kids’ scuba
parties and here is all you need to know
before you take the plunge. It all begins with
a short instructor briefing and a 10-minute
video to get the kids acquainted with the
equipment, procedures and safety aspects.
And then the real fun starts... Divemasters
will then take over and get the kids kitted up
before they hit the pool.
Depending on the number of attendees,
kids will be taken down in groups of two or
three where they will spend some orientation
time in the shallow end with a divemaster.
The kids who are not diving can swim
and snorkel, and play on the grass deck
overlooking the Dive Pool which boasts a
Timberland jungle gym, trampoline, soccer
net and basketball hoop!
When the “diving kids” are comfortable
enough, they can then venture into the
deeper water (all under the supervision of
the divemaster) to discover the Shipwreck
and Treasure Chest filled with sea jewels
and pirate treasure. The birthday boy or girl
gets to open the chest on the first dive, and
then can play underwater games like frisbee
and missiles.
Half an hour before the party ends, the kids
climb out, get dressed and then it’s cake time.
