PADI SEAL Team
When you get
right down to it - the PADI Seal Team program is just plain cool!
Designed for young divers (kids eight and older), this exciting new
program is built around action-packed AquaMissions!
What's an
AquaMission? It's an underwater pool adventure where kids learn
scuba activities. Take Specialty AquaMission: Inner Space Specialist
for example, here kids learn how to float underwater like an
Astronaut.
Supported by a
video, manual and logbook, 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 complete part one kids become a PADI SEAL
Team member. After building a solid foundation of scuba skills, kids
move on to part two.
Part two is full
of Specialty AquaMissions. These cool dives teach kids different
scuba activities. After complete all
Specialty
AquaMissions
kids become a MASTER SEAL Team member. Here's a list of the
Specialty AquaMissions:
-
Creature ID Specialist
