Utila Activities/Courses

SASY
The SASY program is designed to give children ages 5-8 years old the chance to experience the underwater world just like mom and dad! SASY is snorkelling the easy way, by using SCUBA equipment instead of a snorkel. Each SASY unit consists of a BCD, small tank and regulator. The BCD is filled with foam which allows kids to float comfortabaly right on top of the water and the small tank and regulator are the perfect size for kids. This is a great introduction to scuba diving and kids love their first experience breathing underwater!

Your child must be 5 years old to use the SASY units. Kids age 4 will just snorkel. It is important for kids to be comfortable in the water in order to participate. Kids do SASY in the pool for around an hour each day. They spend the rest of their time doing other fun activities- like painting, treasure hunts, sand castle building, crab races and more!

PADI Seal Team: Action, Adventure and AquaMissions!
When you get right down to it - the PADI Seal Team program is just plain cool! Designed for young divers (kids eight and older), this exciting new program is built around action-packed AquaMissions! What's an AquaMission? It's an underwater pool adventure where kids learn scuba activities. Take AquaMission: Inner Space Specialist for example, here kids learn how to float underwater like an Astronaut. And AquaMission: Snapshot Specialist, this is where PADI Seal Team members take pictures of each other scuba diving.

Supported by a video, manual and logbook, 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. These cool dives teach kids different scuba activities. Here's a list of the Specialty AquaMissions:
• Creature ID Specialist
• Environmental Specialist
• Inner Space Specialist
• Navigation Specialist
• Night Specialist
• Safety Specialist
• Search & Recover Specialist
• Skin Diver Specialist
• Snapshot Specialist
• Wreck Specialist

As you can see, PADI Seals get to sample a wide variety of dives. And the best part of the Specialty AquaMissions, they reinforce save diving skills while the kids are having fun. Get involved today - pool diving has never been this adventurous!
