From age 8 kids can join the PADI Seal Team program to take their aquatic adventures to the next level. AquaMissions 1-5 cover basic scuba diving skills, about an hour is needed for each one. Once AquaMissions 1-5 are complete the child is certified as a PADI Seal Team member, they will enjoy recording their missions in a special log book.
Next, it’s time for more adventure with a series of 10 Specialty AquaMissions – the young divers can choose adventures like marine creature identification, search and recovery diving, photography and diving with a torch. Upon completion of all 10 Specialty AquaMissions the child becomes a PADI Master Seal Team Member.
Kids who have qualified as PADI Junior Open Water Divers can continue their scuba diving training with PADI and it can be tailor made according to personal interests. Young divers can choose from an extensive list of Adventure Dives such as Peak Performance Buoyancy (the best diving skill to learn for kids and adults alike!), Fish ID, Naturalist and Photography – all from age 10 years, Drift, Search and Recovery and Nitrox from age 12 years and, from age 15, young divers can take part in the wreck adventure dive.
Complete three Adventure Dives and get certified as a PADI Junior Adventure Diver; if five Adventure Dives are completed, including Deep and Navigation, the PADI Junior Advanced Open Water Diver certification is achieved.
Young divers, up to the age of 16 years, must always dive with an adult certified diver. Junior Divers aged 10 & 11 are limited by depth considerations and restricted in the dives that they can participate in.
