Junior Adventure Diver

Our Dive Nannies encourage new divers to EXPLORE MORE by continuing to dive locally and expand their knowledge while on family vacation. Diving destinations around the world require additional training, and this is a perfect opportunity to bring your private instructor with you to sneak in the education while having fun with the family!

Junior Adventure Diver & Advanced Open Water Course

The Junior Adventure Diver Course is the next step after your child earns their Junior Open Water Diver certification. During this private program, your Dive Nanny will introduce youth divers to a range of Adventures Dives such as underwater videography, underwater navigation, fish identification, drift diving and more! This gives your child an opportunity to discover what their favorite type of diving is and enhance their SCUBA skills to become more aware as a junior diver! The best part about the Adventure Diver program is that kids earn these dives on vacation or locally at a pace that works best for you and your family! Each adventure dive is credited toward the Advanced Open Water certification and the full specialty.

Advancing kids awareness underwater!

Knowledge Development
& Learning Materials

To help better suit your vacation schedule, kids only have to read the chapter associated with the adventure dives they choose, and this can be completed before or after the instructed dive. Your Dive Nanny will tutor your child for each adventure dive.
