Scuba Explores
Ascuba Venture has a new program for kids ages 8-12, who are interested in SCUBA and the underwater world. It is called Scuba Explores ! The Scuba Explores are introduced to SCUBA in a open water simulator environment where they learn several of the skills that our Basic Open Water Divers learn. Learning how to scuba dive is no longer limited to the adults! All of our Explores Classes are taught only by instructors specifically trained in the Explores program.
Explores Club!The Scuba
Explores Program is not just a one time class that your child enrolls in. Once they graduate all of the levels for the basic program they can come back and take
Explores Specialties! Numerous specialties are offered such as Night
Explores , Rescue
Explores , Maze
Explores , Shark
Explores , Navigation
Explores , and many, many more. They can even make it to different ranks such as Advanced
Explores and Master
Explores based on how many specialties they have!
What do they do?
The Scuba Explores training is broken into 5 different levels that can be spread out or done in one of our Explores Camps. The kids are taught the skills and knowledge they need to become safe and successful divers in a fun yet controlled environment. As your child completes each level they are awarded pieces of gear that will be theirs to keep at the completion of the course.
Session 1: Red Explores
Kids demonstrate their swimming skills and learn how to snorkel with a mask, snorkel and fins. They receive their Explores kit and their snorkel!
Session 2: White Explores
Our would be divers are introduced to actual diving equipment. They start learning the basics, what are these things for and how do we use them? Explores get to go into the open water simulator with equipment for the first time. They receive their dive mask and mouthpieces at this level.
