The PADI Seal
Team is for young divers who are looking for an
action-packed, adventurous program filled with
exciting scuba "AquaMissions."
Have you ever wondered what it's
like to dive with flashlights, take pictures underwater or float
effortlessly like an Astronaut? If you have, this is your chance
to explore these exciting adventures in a swimming pool.
As a PADI Seal, you learn the
basics of safe diving and explore different AquaMissions - or specialty
dives -like buoyancy, underwater photography, environmental awareness
and more.
What's an AquaMission? It's an
underwater pool adventure where kids learn scuba activities. Take
AquaMission: Inner Space Specialist for example, here kids learn
how to float underwater like an Astronaut. And AquaMission: Snapshot
Specialist, this is where PADI Seal Team members take pictures of
each other scuba diving.
Supported by a video, manual and
logbook, the PADI Seal Team program is a great way for kids to share
the excitement and wonder of diving yet in a controlled environment.
Once they're 10 years old they're
ready for their Junior
