Summer Scuba Camp
PADI SEAL TEAM
Summer camp Brochure available here.Parents…are your children enthusiastic about the water and longing to try scuba diving? Are you wanting to pry them away from the X-Box this summer? If the answer is “Yes!” our PADI SEAL TEAM summer camp for children ages 8-12 is perfect for your son or daughter.
The PADI SEAL TEAM is a great way to introduce your children to the underwater world and retain their interest in diving until they are old enough to participate in Pura Vida Divers’ PADI Junior Open Water Scuba Diver Certification program.
PADI SEALs have their own activity and log books and take part in exciting pool training sessions called “AquaMissions” while learning SCUBA skills in a pool setting. PADI SEALs also participate in entertaining pool activities and games to develop their diving abilities, confidence and comfort. This exciting and fun program appeals to kids who crave adventure, seek the challenge of learning new skills and want to gain an appreciation for preserving the aquatic environment.
During the first two days of camp your child completes AquaMissions 1-5 learning basic scuba skills, and becomes a PADI SEAL. Over the next three days - packed with ten exciting and fun-filled “Specialty” AquaMissions - they receive their PADI MASTER SEAL recognition, awarded during our pizza party at the end of the week.
