PADI Seal Team
PADI Seal Team and Bubblemaker experiences are designed for children ages 8 and up, who are interested in scuba diving. A Scuba World instructor will teach your child many snorkeling and skin diving skills in a pool. PADI Seal Team includes doing some cool stuff in the pool, meeting friends, and sharing in the adventure of the underwater world.
Bubblemakers get a chance to:
- Experience scuba diving under the direct care and supervision of a PADI Pro.
- Take their first breaths underwater in water shallower than 2 metres/6 feet.
- Learn about and use scuba diving equipment made for children – not adults.
- Have lots of fun.
The PADI Seal Team is for young scuba divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by completing exciting AquaMissions.
The PADI Seal Team program teaches responsibility and respect for the aquatic realm. It’s broken into two parts.
Part one, AquaMissions 1 – 5, covers basic scuba diving skills, such as breathing underwater, clearing a mask of water, recovering a regulator and swimming around experiencing the sensation of being weightless. Each session takes about an hour. Complete these AquaMissions and become a recognized PADI Seal Team Member. Your experience may also count toward the PADI Open Water Diver course when you’re old enough to participate in the course.
Part two, 10 specialty AquaMissions, includes adventures like creature identification, search and recovery diving, and skin diving. Complete all of these and you’ll become a PADI Master Seal Team Member – joining an elite group of young scuba divers.

PADI Seal Team courses are generally taught in the summer for one hour per day Monday through Thursday. Friday is used as a rain-date. The first summer session of Seal Team will start on Monday, June 13th, 2016 at Wild Quail Country Club. Students MUST be pre-registered so that we can ensure enough equipment.

Students should wear or bring a bathing suit and towel.

All students do need a permission slip with medical questionnaire signed by a parent or guardian.
