PADI SEAL Team (8 yrs+)

Have a kid who’s not old enough for certification, but can’t wait to dive?  Now they don’t have to!  PADI Seal Team is a great way to introduce kids 8+ yrs to the basics of safe diving.

The PADI Seal Team program is designed for young divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool!  A PADI certified instructor will guide kids through 5 different “Aquamissions” which are designed to teach them the building blocks of scuba.




The Fun Part

The best part of the Seal AquaMissions is they reinforce safe diving skills while the kids are having fun.  In addition, it provides parents with a structured program that lets their children develop skills while learning about the aquatic environment.. This is also an excellent way to introduce kids to scuba diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.

What You Learn

The PADI Seal Team program consists of 5 different AquaMissions.  Each AquaMission is designed to teach children elements of safe, responsible diving, and get them more comfortable in the underwater environment.

Once kids have completed the first 5 AquMissions, they are PADI Seals – and we encourage them to continue their education with additional PADI Seal Specialties (Aquamissions) such as underwater photography.
