"My family absolutely loves the KSC team, and I’ve spent the better part of my life traveling with Margo and Tom since the age of 8. In 2018, I completed the first Buddy Dive KSC IDC So I could become a KSC PADI instructor! I totally recommend you take their IDC! I am now a part of the KSC Dive team, and I enjoy traveling around the world teaching others. Lilly Blakey"20 something and Absolutely love KSC!

"Bravo to Kids Sea Camp for 20 years

Absolutely the best way to introduce your kids to diving. If you want to dive, and you want your kids to love dive vacations, Kids Sea Camp is the way to go!

"Kids Sea Camp is the way to go

""Our family of 4 just returned from our 13th Kids Sea Camp. A liveaboard was a big jump for our family. Having started the kids at age 5, our 2 boys are now 14 and we are ready for bigger adventures. This trip was our first liveaboard, to the Socorro Islands. Amazing sealife (sharks, mantas, dolphins and more sharks!). The trip was incredible, the diving spectacular and the crew of Kids Sea Camp was fabulous." Patti Snyder"Ready for bigger adventures

""A wonderful experience for adults and children! I can’t wait to take my grandkids!" James Deakin"Taking my grandkids

"We are a family of divers because of how you do kids sea camp! It never would have happened any other way. Thank you, Margo and Tom, for what you have created and the opportunity you gave us and our kids!!! Xoxo Hallie Bigliardi"Thank you for Kids Sea Camp

"You are the best! Well done Margo, wish more operators and dive center managers were thinking like you! Marieke Appelhof"Thinking like you

" Thank you Margo for inspiring so many young divers out there. It is always a pleasure working with you. Can't wait to see you again in a few months at Scuba Saint Lucia. Georgi Merlusca, Anse Chastanet"You inspire so many

"Your view, your approach, and implementation is perfect!...Margo Peyton, and your team, you are quite the innovators and leaders!...safety first! Larissa Potapchuk"The implementation is perfect

"I trust you with my most precious gifts (my children) and will continue to dive with KSC even after they are both certified. Thank you for all your hard work and excellent instructors. I trust you and KSC. Charlotte Anne"I trust Kids Sea Camp

I have to write this. I don't see how anyone could compare Kids Sea Camp to hotels.com or Travelocity. Seriously? I was able to ask The Fish Guy, Adam Summers, ten questions in Bonaire, receive free UW photo classes and dives with Josh Comay in Palau. I had my pictures critiqued by Patric Lengacher, who also gave me advice. I watched my son sing karaoke more times than I asked questions of Adam. I dove with Chris and Susan, who like looking in holes like Alice and I do. That doesn't include the many presentations we experienced in Palau. Maybe I am a geek? I've never felt more connected to the ocean than I now have.

By the way, I heard more than one voice say the same thing.
