MARINE SCIENCE SCUBA CAMP

Ages 8-15 (participants MUST be at least 8 years old to dive)

Tuesday-Friday, May 31-June 3 - 8:30am-4:30pm


This camp is for kids who have completed SSI Scuba Rangers Development Program or PADI Scuba Rangers Course.

Young Divers continue their scuba training as they review basic scuba and safety skills, learn new skills, including Search, Navigation, Rescue and Photography skills, as well as learn the biology of reef organisms, including jellyfish, squid, fish and sharks. Kids have the opportunity to investigate real (but preserved) marine specimens and dissect clams and squid, if they wish. Divers complete up to eight Scuba Rangers Specialties to earn their Intermediate and Advanced Ranger status (or Master Ranger if diver has already completed some specialties) as well as a Marine Biology Camp recognition.  Space is very limited for this camp.

Requirements:

  • Must be at least 8 years old.
  • Must be able to swim 4 labs (320 feet) in the pool with no breaks.
  • Must have completed SSI Scuba Rangers Development Program or PADI Scuba Rangers Course. 
  • Completed Medical Statement (signed off by a doctor, if required), less than 12 months old.

Includes:

  • Classroom orientation
  • Six scuba sessions (up to 4 students per scuba instructor)
  • Six science labs
  • Use of scuba gear
Please send campers with:
  • two snacks
  • packed lunch
  • water bottle
  • swim suit
  • towel
  • mask, snorkel and fins (it is best to use their own, but we have some they can use)

Please note, this is an introductory scuba course. This is not an open water scuba course, and will not certify a participant to dive in open water.

Wonderful program, we also really love the after school program, and this was the first time we’ve done the summer camp. Our kiddo loved Ocean Science! My only issue is the start time at 8:30 (vs 8:00 for others we do) makes it really hard to do this.

Dear Ms.Howie,
I'm so glad that your kid had a blast! I understand that the 8:30 start time can be difficult to navigate, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Deborah, Thanks for your message. It depends on which program you are inquiring about. Our Young Explorers classes (3-5 year olds) require parent participation during class. Parents sometimes stay for the first week of homeschool classes, and during Girl Scout workshops as well. Parents do not stay for after-school programs, Parents' Night Out or our camps. Hopefully, I covered the program you are interested in. If not, please let me know so I can clarify. Thanks for your interest, Tonya -
