About Florida Scuba Diving Camps and Programs

Scuba camp is designed for teens rather than younger children, as it is a complicated sport that can be dangerous if practiced incorrectly. Scuba lessons are usually combined with other related water sports such as surfing, kayaking and in some cases, sailing. Scuba summer camps are always held in warm climates with lots of coastline, due to the nature of the sport. The format of most scuba camps is to provide a certain number of purely theoretical scuba classes, take a test to prove comprehension of the material, practice all of the necessary scuba skills in a pool to be safe, and then use those skills to enjoy various scuba sessions in the ocean, observing the diverse marine life. Sometimes trips to aquatic museums are included in the camp as well.

Safety: All instructors should be certified by PADI and have all of the appropriate SCUBA equipment in good, working condition. Instructors should also be trained in first aid and CPR in case of any emergency. At scuba camps, campers will be out in the sun for long periods of time, so they should be sure to apply plenty of sunblock to avoid sunburn, or even sun poisoning.
