Diving Programs for Young Explorers

Kids love the water probably more than we do!  This is why we offer programs for the entire family, including children of all ages.  Whether it is a Starfish, a Scuba Ranger, a Junior Open Water program, or just a private snorkeling lesson, by introducing your entire family to the water, you can make an island vacation an adventure!

Starfish

Similar to our Scuba RangerTM Program, the children in the StarfishTM Program will experience team building, goal setting, and achievement using snorkeling.  This program was developed to let the 4 to 7-year-old children experience the fun and excitement of snorkeling and free diving.  This is a pool-based program that introduces them to the aquatic environment beyond their basic swimming course.  And while it is a pool-based program, the skills and confidence they learn can be transferred to snorkeling in the ocean on your family vacation.

Scuba Explorers

Team building, goal setting, and achievement in a safe, comfortable environment, are the goals of a Scuba ExplorerTM program which uses Scuba Diving in the pool as a cool way to get children excited about working together and developing a greater love for the aquatic environment.  Imagine your 8 to 12-year-old members swimming underwater breathing like a fish and experiencing the fun and excitement that Jacques Cousteau and the Discovery Channel showed on television.  They will love it!  And while they aren’t able to scuba dive in the ocean yet, they will be excited about discovering the underwater world as active snorkelers.

Junior Open Water

Imagine exploring the underwater world with your children on your next dive vacation!  Learn to swim with the fish and enjoy one of the fastest-growing sports—scuba diving.  This program is taught in a safe and enjoyable way on location at the Club by experienced instructors who love what they are doing and want you to learn to love the sport as much as they do.  This program is open to children from 10 -15 years old. Come find out what our clients have already discovered, scuba diving is fun, safe, and enjoyable!

“You can make an island vacation an adventure!“
