Seal Team |
The
PADI Seal Team program is an exciting underwater activity-filled
introduction to the world of diving. The PADI Seal Team
program gives children a chance to swim around underwater
and experience adventure, discovery and thrills. It
also provides parents or guardians with a structured
program that lets their children develop skills, learn
about the aquatic realm, and have a lot of good, clean
fun.
To
become an official members of the PADI Seal Team, kids
must complete the first five of 15 AquaMissions. These
activities develop fundamental scuba skills and knowledge,
while preparing kids for further adventure.
Children
learn about diving by watching the PADI Seal Team video,
through the PADI Seal Team AquaMission Activity Book,
and during predive briefings with their PADI Instructor.
Each AquaMission consists of a briefing, a skill session,
and a game or activity. Completing the pool dive and
answering challenge questions in their PADI Seal Team
AquaMission Logbooks earns young divers an AquaMission
decal.
Finishing
AquaMissions 1-5, which is equivalent to completing
the skills in Confined Water Dive One from the Open
Water Diver Course, means youngsters are PADI Seal Team
members. Receiving a PADI Seal Team member card and
wall certificate recognizes their accomplishments and
allows them to work toward PADI Master Seal Team recognition.
As
part of their PADI Seal Team membership, PADI Seals
have access to a special Website designed for young
divers at www.padisealteam.com.
There, young divers can learn more about the PADI Seal
Team through character bios and they can read about
the PADI Seal Team and Specialty AquaMissions. Kids
can check out links to padi.com
and projectaware.org.
Prerequisites:
Children must be 8 years old before the first day of
class and comfortable in the water
Parents must complete
and sign a PADI Seal Team Statement and Assumption of
Risk and Liability Release Agreement prior to class.

Scuba experiences.
