These are AquaMissions that introduce you to Wreck, U/W Navigation, Peak Buoyancy, U/W photography, environmental awareness and more. Here's your chance to do some cool stuff in the pool, meet friends and share in the adventure of the underwater world.

The Fun Part

The best part of the Specialty AquaMissions is they reinforce safe diving skills while the kids are having fun. PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives. In addition, it provides parents with a structured program that lets their children develop skills, learn about the aquatic environment and have a lot of good, clean fun. This is also an excellent way to introduce kids to scuba diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.

The program is in two separate parts:

Part One: Covers Aqua Missions 1-5 and, upon completion, each child is awarded the PADI Seal Team Certification and becomes an official PADI Seal Team Member.

In Part One, Aqua Missions 1-5 cover the basics of scuba diving, such as how to use scuba gear, breathing under water from your regulator, how to communicate under water, how to clear your mask, how to recover our regulator, techniques for equalisation, how to breath from your buddy’s alternate regulator and how to float effortlessly like an astronaut.

Part Two: PADI Seals can continue the fun and exploration by undertaking a further 10 Speciality Aqua Missions and become a Master Seal Team Member.

In Part Two, you will become a PADI Master Seal team member through completing 10 speciality Aqua Missions. Each mission will introduce new challenges, skills and underwater experiences including search and recovery diving, wreck diving, navigation specialist, night specialist, inner space specialist, environmental specialist, creature ID specialist,, safety specialist, skin diver specialist and snap shot specialist. Aqua Missions 6-15 can be completed in any order. Once 10 speciality Aqua Missions have been completed you’ll become a Master Seal Team member, joining an elite group of young scuba divers.

For Aqua Missions part one and part two every child will have a log book and an activity book to complete.  There is also a Seal Team DVD to help reinforce safe diving skills.

• Part One: Aqua Missions 1-5. Each Aqua Mission usually takes 2 hours including the diving briefing and pool time.
