COURSE STARTING SATURDAY 8TH OCTOBER 2011 PADI SEAL TEAM
8 years old +
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 photos 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 have adventures in the underwater world.
Parents
The best part of the AquaMissions is that they reinforce safe diving and build water confidence while the young divers are having fun. PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives. In addition, this programme provides a structure for young divers to develop skills, learn about the aquatic environment and have a lot of good, clean fun. This is also an excellent introduction to SCUBA diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.
Please read our Important Information. Perhaps you would like to snorkel or even dive with the children - see what they do and wave back? Many adults would like to photograph or film their children whilst diving. Please talk to us first if you wish to do so. We can also supply underwater cameras for you and the young diver to use during their experience!
What You Learn
The PADI Seal Team programme is broken into two parts.
Part one, AquaMissions 1 - 5, teaches the basics of diving - things like bouyancy control, mask skills, regulator recovery, etc.
After building a solid foundation of SCUBA skills, young divers can move on to part two. Part two is full of specialty AquaMissions, which usually last about an hour and lead to certification as a MASTER SEAL.

Seal Team members use all the basic SCUBA gear that adults would use. Here at DIVE Rutland, we have a range of smaller sized gear and cylinders specifically for use by our young divers.
