The Philippines trip was a very special one for us too. It’s an amazing place with wonderful people. We celebrated a birthday and a big anniversary with you, not to mention seeing super special critters. Morgan has grown up knowing the sea and knowing diving. He looks forward to those trips. I know he loves them because he wears those T-shirts almost non-stop. That’s the real clue to what is important to him because as a teenager he doesn’t say a whole lot sometimes. He does want to keep learning...[ read more ]

Dear Margo, Olivia, Tom, Overcoming my fears of diving was a big deal for me. I loved the sense of community that Kids Sea Camp fosters and it was the most amazing feeling to overcome my fears and do something I've always wanted to do. I want to thank you again for this incredible experience. It was truly one of the best trips we've ever taken with the kids on many different levels. It was made even more wonderful to do it with Katelyn. When we got home she said:...[ read more ]
We took our first Kids Sea Camp trip in August to Buddy Dive Bonaire.

My son talks about our Kids Sea Camp family dive trip fondly and all the new friends he made, and the dives we did...[ read more ]
Lots of friends have asked me about getting their kids certified to dive, especially as kids are growing older and as they hear about our dive trips and adventures. Obviously, we are huge proponents! Ben and I always wax long on our friends Margo Peyton and Tom Peyton at Kids Sea Camp and what an amazing job they do with family dive trips and training kids to scuba dive. Inevitably, people ask me about taking a course at a local dive shop and then the family going on a trip somewhere. While some do that, it's...[ read more ]
Go For It in the Philippines by Betsy Royal with Carolyn Pascal After a few adult beverages at my friend Carolyn's daughter Melissa's wedding, our mutual friend Margo suggested we join her on an upcoming Kids Sea Camp trip to the Philippines. She loved it there, and so would we, she said. Thrilled to be spending time at a happy celebration with friends, it was one of those offers that I just could not refuse. Seriously, WHY NOT? That is how Carolyn and I proceeded in our conversations. We could think...[ read more ]
The Cayman with Kids Sea Camp was awesome Melanie (16-year-old): Diving in The Cayman Islands, both Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, gave me the opportunity to experience and explore the unknown. The underwater landscapes and astonishing creatures provided a breathtaking view. One amazing sight that we encountered while diving was an old shipwreck. Within the walls and portholes of the ship inhabited many different organisms using the wreck as protection and shelter. Seeing this wonderful sight taught me that a ship that sinks in a tragedy can create a beautifully sacred...[ read more ]
