Equipment
Master Seals use all the basic SCUBA gear that adults would use. Here at DIVE Rutland, we have a range of smaller sized gear and cylinders specifically for use by our young divers.
How Long does it take?
DIVE Rutland provide the course over 5 pool sessions arranged between the group. Courses are generally scheduled to follow the completion of Seal Team programmes. Each of the five sessions includes attendance at our centre for briefings and around 75 minutes of underwater activity in our pool. Each session also requires a parent/guardian to be present throughout.
Parents or Guardians
As with our Seal Team Programme, Master Seal AquaMissions reinforce safe diving and build water confidence while the young divers are having fun. PADI Master Seals get to sample a wide variety of dive specialties covering the most popular and exciting dive types. In addition, this programme provides a structure for young divers to use their skills, learn more about the aquatic environment and have a lot of good, clean fun. This is also an excellent introduction to SCUBA diving prior to full Open Water Diver certification.
Please read our Important Information. Perhaps you would like to snorkel or even dive with the children - see what they do and wave back? Many adults would like to photograph or film their children whilst diving. Please talk to us first if you wish to do so. We can also supply underwater cameras for you and the young diver to use during their experience!
What is my next Adventure?
Become an Open Water diver and explore the rich underwater world here and abroad that is available and maybe go on to be the next David Attenborough or Tim Peake, there are so many opportunities that relate to diving.
Not quite ready to start Open Water certification but want to stay diving in the pool then join our monthly Junior Bubble sessions and come diving with one of our professionals and keep having fun.
