Scuba Diving for Kids
A clear path to your next certification.
Learning to dive as a family strengthens family bonds and can lead to a lifetime of adventure together. Scuba diving can also teach environmental responsibility from a young age, instilling awareness of ocean health, sustainability, and a sense of care.

Supplied Air Snorkeling For Youth (SASY)
Designed for kids ages 5 to 7 years old and still too young to dive, the Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youths (SASY) program allows young children to participate in snorkeling with a BCD-like flotation device, a compressed air tank, and a regulator. Children can swim on the surface without fear of inhaling water through a snorkel tube, and the SASY jackets provide ample buoyancy and hold the compressed air securely in place. (Included in Dolphin Scuba Camp)
- Course Prerequisites: 5 – 7 years old
- Time Commitment: 3 Hours
