Reach out to us
One of the first things you will notice when you call us. We answer our phone at 803.419.2556. We will spend as much time as you need to answer all of your family travel questions. We are at your service. You can speak directly with one of our owners, Margo or Tom Peyton, or with one of our well-trained, experienced dive trip vacation experts, all of whom are experienced divers.
Diver placement
What is diver placement? Kids Sea Camp and Family Dive Adventures specialize in putting your family in the right kind of diving experience at the right time for your family. Because we are experienced divers and world travelers ourselves, we know where you are going. We know the resorts, the type of diving, and the kind of travel you will experience. We know because we have been there to better serve you. We know because we take our fun-filled job seriously — to make it safe and enjoyable for your family. We ask many questions to learn what you’re looking for, your skill level, and needs, and match you with what we believe, based on our experience, is the perfect location for your family. We are at your service.
Long-term diving planning
Say, you want to go to the Galapagos, but you only have ten dives. KSC and FDA will work to help you fulfill that dream when you and your kids are ready. We will ensure you understand exactly what is needed to safely dive into your dream destination. We know it’s not safe to put inexperienced divers in an advanced diving destination like the Galapagos. This is “vacation mapping,” and it comes only from our dive travel experts speaking directly to our clients and asking the right questions to ensure a great adventure.
Give us a call if it’s your first time with Kids Sea Camp
Because our service commitment is to safe and fun dive adventures for you and your kids or grandkids, you can’t book with us for the first time unless you talk to us. That’s right, you have to speak with one of us; we want and need to know your kid’s ages, level of experience, special needs, and expectations. This builds trust with you and allows us to deliver on our promises.
The owners of Family Dive Adventures and Kids Sea Camp are also dive parents
Tom and Margo, Rob andJen, are PADI-trained, experienced divers. Margo started Kids Sea Camp when Rob was 6 and Jen was 4. The kids are now 30 and 28, and they have so many experiences to share. Having their own kids grow up within Kids Sea Camp, Margo and Tom have a wonderful understanding of your family’s needs.
They know the needs of kids aged 4 -7 in the SASY programs or kids aged 8 & 9 in the PADI Seal Team program. The Kids Sea Camp program allows your kids to learn to dive in confined water conditions with an instructor in a 1:2 ratio. Then, PADI Jr. Open Water teaches kids to dive at age 10; they become certified Jr. divers with a 40-foot max depth, and can dive with their parents or a dive pro.
At the age of 12, they can become Jr. Advanced Open Water certified, and that means learning more about buoyancy, navigation, fish ID, night diver, deep diver, and even digital photography. This PADI rating gives kids ages 12 – 14 a depth of 70 feet. Once a child turns 15, they are then diving into adult profiles.
