The PADI Seal Team Program

The PADI Seal Team is for young divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by doing exciting scuba AquaMissions.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater or float effortlessly like an astronaut? These are AquaMissions that introduce you to wreck, navigation, buoyancy, underwater photography, environmental awareness and more.

Here's your chance to do some cool stuff in the pool, meet friends and share in the adventure of the underwater world.

The Fun Part

The best part of the Specialty AquaMissions is they reinforce save diving skills while the kids are having fun. PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives.

In addition, it provides parents with a structured program that lets their children develop skills, learn about the aquatic environment and have a lot of good, clean fun. This is also an excellent way to introduce kids to scuba diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.

What You Learn

The PADI Seal Team program is broken into two parts.

Part one, AquaMissions 1 - 5, teaches kids the basics of diving - things like buoyancy control, mask clearing, regulator recovery, etc.

After building a solid foundation of scuba skills, kids move on to part two. Part two is full of specialty AquaMissions, which usually last about an hour.

PADI Seal Team

• Helps children learn responsibility
• Teaches children about the aquatic environment
• Is a fun pool-only experience
• Is conducted by certified, trained PADI Professionals

The Scuba Gear You Use

• Typical sessions last about an hour (sign up, gear up and fun included)

Boy Scout Merrit Badge Program (ages 10+) 

Key facts you need to know about the merit badge are as follows:

• Completing the Scuba Diving merit badge will result in the boy scout achieving an open water certification enabling him to dive around the world with the appropriate supervision, based on his age.
• There are two important roles for this merit badge - the merit badge counselor and a certified dive instructor.
• Sometimes this may be the same person.
• More likely, the counselor will be an existing BSA adult member.
• Always the instructor will be one certified by PADI
• The instructor does NOT have to be a BSA member.
• Earning the Scuba Diving merit badge is open to all Boy Scout-age youth (10+). There are, however, limitations based on age with respect to how deep and with whom a boy can dive. These limitations vary by certifying organization.
• Completion of the Swimming merit badge is a requirement of the merit badge and must be completed prior to entering into scuba training portion of the requirements.
• Boys with a current open water certification will NOT have to recertify in order to earn the merit badge. They will, however, have to have completed the Swimming merit badge, present their certification to the merit badge counselor and complete all the other requirements.
• There are three important pieces of information which must be fully reviewed by the merit badge counselor prior to approving any Scout for the merit badge: the merit badge requirements, the notes to counselor and the scuba policy of the Guide to Safe Scouting.
