Seal Team

The PADI Seal Team is for young divers who are looking for an action-packed, adventurous program filled with exciting scuba "AquaMissions."
Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take pictures underwater or float effortlessly like an Astronaut? If you have, this is your chance to explore these exciting adventures in a swimming pool.

As a PADI Seal, you learn the basics of safe diving and explore different AquaMissions - or specialty dives - like wreck, navigation, buoyancy, underwater photography, environmental awareness and more.
Here's your chance to explore cool AquaMissions, meet friends and share in the adventure of the underwater world. And best of all - join a winning team - become a PADI Seal Team Member!

For Mum and Dad


Offered at dive destinations and Dive Centers throughout the world, PADI's Discover Scuba programs let you experience the thrill of diving under the supervision of a PADI Instructor. During your adventure, you and your family will master some basic concepts and scuba skills that will start you on the path to experiencing all the wonder that the other 70% of our planet holds.
In addition to being really fun, the PADI's Discover Scuba programs are also a great way to get a head start on your PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver certifications. That's because the skills you complete during your adventure may credit these certification levels. All you have to do is complete a Student Diver Record and Referral Form, which documents your achievement, and bring it to any PADI Dive Center or Resort to continue where you left off. So what are you waiting for? Get yourself and your family diving today.
