    SASY & Seal Team Bubble Maker

    Let’s get your kids in the water early.

    Welcome to the underwater world for your little ones.  We have been teaching SASY and Seal Team for nearly 22 years.  These kids’ scuba programs are safe, fun, and a great way to get your little ones to enjoy the ocean.  At Kids Sea Camp, our ratio is one instructor to every two kids.  We are the safest dive travel and training organization in the world for kids. 

    The SASY program is for younger kids ages (4-7) interested in learning basic snorkel/scuba dive skills in the pool and the ocean. “SASY” is a Surface Supplied Air System that resembles a scuba unit with a small tank and regulator designed to float on the surface. Your young soon-to-be diver gets to breathe through the regulator, thus creating bubbles, so it’s like diving apart from remaining on the surface.

    The “BCD” is in effect, a life jacket and does not permit the child to descend underwater but does provide a safe and comfortable snorkel system. The SASY program varies by destination, but the program’s focus is to get the kids enjoying the water and learning about the ocean!

    Kids Sea Camp is one of the few dive companies in the world that gets a PADI waiver that allows kids to experience the ocean in confined, pool-like conditions. Kids Sea Camp has had over 7,900 newly certified divers in the past 23 years. We are proud that most kids started participating in the SASY and SEAL programs before becoming Junior Open-Water divers.

    Seal Team & Master Seal Team & PADI Bubble Maker

    Have you ever wondered what it’s like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater, or float effortlessly like an astronaut? Beyond learning basic scuba skills, there are specialty AquaMissions, such as wreck diving, navigation, buoyancy, environmental awareness, and more. PADI Seal Team (ages 8-9) includes doing cool stuff in the pool & the ocean with Kids Sea Camp only. Kids can dive with a PADI instructor at Kids Sea Camp to a depth of 12ft after learning 5 Aqua Missions in the pool. Kids enjoy meeting new dive buddies and sharing in the adventure of the underwater world with their moms and dads.

    Kids Sea Camp is one of the few dive companies in the world that gets a PADI waiver that allows kids to experience the ocean in confined, pool-like conditions. Kids Sea Camp has had over 7,700 newly certified divers in the past 19 years. We are proud that most kids start participating in the SASY, Seal, and OW programs before becoming Open Water divers.

    Who should take this program? A child must be eight or older to join the PADI Seal Team. No experience with scuba diving is necessary, but kids should be comfortable in the water. Parental approval is required. The PADI Bubble Maker Program is taught at all Kids Sea Camps and has a max depth in the ocean of 6ft.

    What will you learn? The PADI Seal Team program teaches responsibility and respect for the aquatic realm. It’s broken into two parts.

    Part one, Aqua Missions 1 – 5, Covers basic scuba diving skills, such as breathing underwater, clearing a mask of water, recovering a regulator, and swimming around, experiencing the sensation of being weightless. Each session takes about an hour. Complete these AquaMissions and become a recognized PADI Seal Team Member. Your experience may also count toward the PADI Open Water Diver course when you’re old enough to participate in the class.


    Part two: 10 specialty Aqua Missions, includes adventures like creature identification, search and recovery diving, and skin diving. Complete all these, and you’ll become a PADI Master Seal Team Member – joining an elite group of young scuba divers.

    How can you start learning now? Contact us to enroll your child in the program and get started with a PADI Seal Team Crew-Pak. Your Pak includes everything a PADI Seal Team Member needs to prepare for AquaMissions, including a fun video, activity book with puzzles, and log book pages to track your adventures.

    What scuba gear will you use? In the PADI Seal Team program, your child will learn to use essential scuba gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device, dive gauges, and a tank. Contact us to ask about equipment and get advice on preparing for your PADI Seal Team Leader (a.k.a. PADI Instructor).

    Bubble Maker program:

    In the Bubblemaker program, participants get a basic introduction to how to use scuba gear, clear a regulator and a mask, and an overview of breathing do’s and don’ts.  Your Kids Sea Camp includes all gear for PADI SASY and PADI Seal Team kids. Contact us for more information at 803-419-2556

    As with Kids Sea Camp, all our dive teams are friendly and kid-trained, and our teams have lots of experience with kids. This is important to ensure your child has fun and feels comfortable, and you can trust the expert you leave them with. Ask your dive shop if they have little tanks, fins, masks, and BCs. At Kids Sea Camp, we provide all that; kids get to keep their fins, masks, and snorkels.  They are included. 

    We provide five full days of fun activities and ocean experiences. We also offer time for moms and dads to dive and snorkel with their SASY and Seal Team kids. Ensure any instructor or shop you enroll your kids with is active, insured, and experienced.  You should ask if they have ever had any accidents and also ask for kid-friendly instruction. At Kids Sea Camp, we have certified over 7900 youths and proudly have zero accidents.
