The PADI Seal Team
is for young divers who are looking for an action-packed,
adventurous program filled with exciting scuba "AquaMissions."
Have you ever wondered
what it's like to dive with flashlights, take pictures
underwater or float effortlessly like an Astronaut? If
you have, this is your chance to explore these exciting
adventures in a swimming pool.
As a PADI Seal, you
learn the basics of safe diving and explore different AquaMissions
- or specialty dives -like buoyancy, underwater photography,
environmental awareness and more.
What's an AquaMission?
It's an underwater pool adventure where kids learn scuba
activities. Take AquaMission: Inner Space Specialist for
example, here kids learn how to float underwater like an
Astronaut. And AquaMission: Snapshot Specialist, this is
where PADI Seal Team members take pictures of each other
scuba diving.
Supported by a video,
manual and logbook, the PADI Seal Team program is a great
way for kids to share the excitement and wonder of diving
yet in a controlled environment.
Once they're 10 years
old they're ready for their Junior Open Water Course or Scuba
