Get Your Kids Diving With PADI Seal Team!!!



The PADI Seal Team program is a great and fun way to introduce kids 8 years old and up to the world of scuba.

We have a regularly scheduled Seal Team session 4:30 PM every Wednesday at Serendipity Racquet Club. I am not sure who is having more fun in these AquaMissions, the kids are having a blast and so am I. It is amazing to see them learn and overcome challenges and yes sometimes fears. They are eager to learn and they take to the water like fish.

This action packed and fun activity is done in a pool and consists of exciting AquaMissions. This is a structured program that allows children to develop skills, learn about the aquatic environment and have great fun doing it.
  • Helps children learn responsibility
  • Teaches about the aquatic environment
  • Fun pool-only experience
  • Conducted by certified, trained PADI Professionals
Each session lasts about an hour and consists of a briefing, gear assembly, skills and play. Once out of the water gear is cleaned and the dive is logged.
