When you get right down to it - the PADI Seal Team program is just plain cool! Designed for young divers (kids eight and older), this exciting new program is built around action-packed AquaMissions! What's an Aqua-Mission? It's an underwater pool adventure where kids learn scuba activities. Take AquaMission Inner Space Specialist, for example, here kids learn how to float weightless like an astronaut and AquaMission Snapshot Specialist, where PADI Seal Team members take pictures of each other scuba diving. Supported by a video, manual and logbook, the PADI Seal Team program is broken into two parts:

Part one: AquaMissions 1 - 5 teaches kids the basics of diving - things like buoyancy control, mask clearing, regulator recovery, etc. Minimum age is 8 to enroll.

Part two: after building a solid foundation of scuba skills, kids move on to part two and earn the Master Seal team rating. This part is full of Specialty Aqua-Missions:

Creature ID Specialist, Environmental Specialist, Inner Space Specialist, Navigation Specialist, Night Specialist, Safety Specialist, Search & Recover Specialist, Skin Diver Specialist, Snapshot Specialist, Wreck Specialist

As you can see, PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives. And the best part of the Specialty Aqua-Missions, they reinforce safe diving skills while the kids are having fun.
