It's incredible to watch all your kids that have traveled with us from the time they were little SASSY kids, just snorkeling for the first time, and then seeing them advance to Seal Team divers, zipping around the shallows like stealthy Ninja divers fearless of any fish.
Then amazingly becoming certified divers, like getting a license to drive their own car, mom and dad's eager to join on their long awaited family dives. Kids Sea camp contributes to hundreds of kids each year becoming PADI certified divers.
Hence, our Ocean discoverer's. This will be the new term for our current teens, as thanks to PADI allowing kids age 10 and up to get certified, "Teen" doesn't apply to all our new divers. Kids Sea Camp enjoyed hosting our teen diver program to over 150 certified kids this year. This program included, many specialty courses, such as Underwater Navigation, Buoyancy Control, Fish ID, Adventure Diver, UW Photo and more. Our certified kids enjoyed, night dives and sea scooter dives and wall and wreck dives as well as dolphin dives and shark dives, many became PADI Jr. Advanced divers.
