Big news for our company: The Kids Sea Camp Diver!
PADI has approved its first Kids Sea Diver Specialty course. This certification, developed by PADI and KSC founder Margo Peyton, is designed to help families who dive together become better dive buddies.
The certification is to assist parents and other adult family members who want to update and refresh some of the basic skills learned during previous dive training. Also, part of the program is education and becoming more aware of the environmental issues and concerns affecting the regions they are currently diving in.
Upon completing the KSC reboot, a new Kids Sea Camp Diver will demonstrate mastery in both diving and being a well-trained, confident parent-child buddy team. Divers will have training and education in environmental stewardship and watermanship. Throughout the course, emphasis will be placed on safety, teamwork, and conservation.
