Boy Scout Discover Scuba Program

Is your Boy Scout Troop looking for some new high adventure?

Come explore the underwater world and earn the BSA scuba patch. BSA scuba is a great way for scouts to try diving.  We teach Scouts, 10 and older, and interested Adult Leaders the beginning scuba skills in the safe environment of a pool under the guidance of a highly trained PADI Instructor.  After the skills are taught, plenty of time is left for fun and games. 

What are the requirements?

• Minimum age:10 years old
• The desire to have a lot of fun
• Basic swim skills
• A signed PADI Discover Scuba Program statement

What will you do?
The Scouts scuba program is a snorkeling and scuba diving activity designed especially for adventurers, 10 year olds and up. It is an introduction to the thrill of breathing underwater and allows you to confidently explore the wonders of the underwater world in the safe, supervised conditions of a confined environment. In this controlled, shallow, swimming pool environment our expertly trained, certified instructors will guide these you through all of the basic skills of snorkeling and scuba diving utilizing pool games and lots of fun underwater activities.

What's included in the course and the cost?
The program includes all the equipment for scuba diving. You'll need a swimsuit and towel for the pool. If you get cold easy, you'll want to bring a wet suit, t-shirt, or sweatshirt for the pool. At the completion of the program each diver will receive a certificate of completion to take back to the troop to qualify for the patch. In addition we teach all of our diver level courses in small groups to ensure that you receive the attention that you deserve. All our courses are taught to PADI Standards. The discover scuba program is $25.00. If your group has its own pool the cost is $19.00.

What can you do next?
Enroll your interested Scouts and Adult Leaders in our PADI Open Water Course and have everyone certified to dive at camp. Certified divers can participate in several Seabase adventures and can even train to become scuba staff at Seabase. We have trained Scouts for the SCUBA BSA Patch and the PADI Open Water Diver course.
