    EXPERTISE: We have been family-owned and family-operated for 24 years. We have been rated The Travel Channel’s Best Choice for International Family Dive Travel. Our specialty is understanding and meeting the needs of each family member from ages 5 to 80. That’s right we have grandparents diving at 75 and 80 years with us all over the world.

    We inspire families to travel and create memories that will last a lifetime. Family Dive Adventures was created for families that expect more from a dive vacation: education, safety, personalized service, and fun for each traveling family member.

    We have been rated #1 for family dive vacations and kid’s dive training worldwide. Family Dive Adventures provides reservations for family dive travel. We arrange PADI dive training programs with PADI dive operations and resorts around the world, that are family-friendly for adults and kids. Family Dive Adventures provides year-round reservations on our Family Dive Adventures pages. We have handpicked and custom-designed family dive packages to provide individual families that want to travel independently. These are not Kids’ Sea Camp trips.

    The main difference between a Kids Sea Camp vacation and a Family Dive vacation is that with KSC trips, you have other families and kids on the same trip. With Family Dive Adventures, it’s just you and your family. We will customize your family vacation your way. Family Dive Adventures puts everything in place to assist you in keeping your family safe and having fun.

    TRUST: Over the many years of traveling with us, families have learned that we focus on the safety and security of their children first.

    PASSPORTS & DOCUMENTATION

    All travelers must have a current passport, adequate funds to support themselves, and a return airline ticket to travel out of the USA. Travelers must have a passport that is valid for 6 months from the date of entry to any foreign country.

    It is the travelers’ responsibility to ensure they have the proper documentation to travel into each country on their itinerary as well as for re-entry and return to their country. Please check with the appropriate consulate as well as your chosen airline carrier to ensure you have the proper documentation. Always check your passport and visa requirements. US citizens may go to the US Department of State website at www.travel.state.gov for more information. The website also has information for consulates by country to assist with requirements.

    There are special requirements for children leaving the US and many countries have adopted special requirements for the protection of children. If you are traveling with a child that is not your own, a single parent with a child, a child with a different last name, or traveling without both the child’s natural parents, you will be required to have documentation proving your right to travel with children. Since regulations vary by country, contact your consulate or embassy of your country and visit the immigration site of the country you are traveling to for the requirements. The Kids Sea Camp Reservation Office and staff will not assume responsibility for passengers not having the correct documentation.
