Padi Seal Team
Course Structure & Progression
The program is broken down into two distinct parts:
Part 1: Core AquaMissions (1–5) - Seal Team
Children learn the fundamental basics of scuba diving. Completing these five missions officially grants them PADI Seal Team Member status. Skills learned include:
- Breathing and swimming effortlessly underwater
- Clearing water out of a scuba mask
- Recovering and clearing a regulator (breathing mouthpiece)
- Monitoring an air gauge and using underwater hand signals
Part 2: Specialty AquaMissions (10-15 Choices) - Master Seal Team
Once the basics are mastered, young divers can move on to advanced pool adventures. Completing 10 specialty missions elevates a diver to a PADI Master Seal Team Member. These specialties include:
- Creature Identification: Learning to recognize aquatic life.
- Environmental Awareness: Practicing search and recovery and learning to protect the aquatic world.
- Navigation & Night Diving: Learning to use an underwater compass and diving with flashlights in the pool.
- Wreck Diving: Simulating diving on a sunken boat.
