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.

Youth Scuba Program
Give your young diver an adventure that lasts a lifetime. The Youth Scuba Program takes kids and teens from never having dived to five real SDI certifications, starting with the full Open Water course and adding four specialties on top. They'll learn to dive from scratch in the pool, earn their certification in open water, and build genuine skill and confidence along the way. No experience needed, just a sense of adventure and a love of the water.
Five certifications, one program
Open Water Scuba Diver
The full entry-level certification, where your child learns to dive from the ground up: the pool sessions, the knowledge, and real open water certification dives.

See the course ›A real head start, at a bundled price
Bundled together, the Youth Scuba Program costs less than taking the Open Water course and four specialties separately, so your child earns five certifications for one program price. And because it counts as education, ESA and ClassWallet funds are accepted, so it may cost your family even less.
