Quote of the Week

"Now I know why everybody wants to dive, it's so beautiful, like heaven"
- Antonio

Juvi and Antonio finished their Discover Scuba Diving this week with Carlos and really enjoyed themselves. "So many fish, big fish, little fish, different colours, fish everywhere"

And PADI have just announced that as of June, the Open Water Manual will be available in Bahasa, making the Open Water Course much more accessible for East Timorese.

Congratulations to both Juvi and Antonio.

Seal Team Is Here!

The PADI Seal Team is for young divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by doing exciting scuba AquaMissions.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater or float effortlessly like an astronaut? These are AquaMissions that introduce you to navigation, buoyancy, underwater 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 save 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.

What You Learn

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.

After building a solid foundation of scuba skills, kids move on to part two. Part two is full of specialty AquaMissions

PADI Seal Team

• Helps children learn responsibility
• Teaches children about the aquatic environment
• Is a fun pool-only experience
• Is conducted by certified, trained PADI Professionals

The Scuba Gear You Use

Children use all the basic scuba gear, which is made for their size and stature.

The Learning Materials You Need

Calling all Seal Team recruits: The Seal Team crewpak includes everything a PADI Seal Team member needs to prepare for their AquaMissions. Video on DVD? Check! Activity book? Check! Log book pages? Check! You are now cleared for an underwater adventure

Call Dive Timor to book your first AquaMission for your kids
