Youth Scuba Program

Ages 10–17 · Five Certifications · Learn to Dive from Scratch

Five certifications and a lifelong adventure. The Youth Scuba Program takes kids and teens ages 10 to 17 from never having dived to five real SDI certifications: the full Open Water course plus Computer Nitrox, Underwater Navigation, Shore & Beach, and Advanced Buoyancy. They learn from scratch through online study, pool training, and real open water dives, building genuine skill and confidence. It's bundled for less than taking the courses separately, and ESA and ClassWallet funds are accepted. No experience needed; parental consent required under 18. They'll bring their own mask, fins, boots, and snorkel, and we provide the rest.

Veterans can put their GI Bill toward their training, and families can use ESA or ClassWallet funds. See if you qualify.
