"5 things I loved about my Kids Sea Camp Buddy Dive Bonaire Trip

I was amazingly lucky to work for this incredible company started by Margo Peyton- a once single mother raising two kids while launching a world-wide company. The experience they provide families is one I hope to share with my own children soon. I am also lucky to call Margo, Tom, Robbie, and Jen friends and family and to have shared beautiful memories with them. Love to all the Kids Sea Camp family.

"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

Alyson Herzig 2019"We will only dive with you

"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, received free UW photo classes, dives with Josh Comay in Palau. Had my pictures critiqued by Patric Lengacher, who also gave me advice. I got to watch 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 Palau. Maybe I am a geek? I've never felt more of a connection to the ocean than I now have.

BTW, I heard more than one voice who said the same.

Thank you

Ross & Chen Family

"Compared to Travelocity or Hotels.com
