A continuation of the SCUBA Explorer's program: Unforgettable aquatic adventures for kids – Go underwater and discover the wonder of Snorkel, Scuba, Mermaid, and Freediving Explorer programs. The mission of SSI Explorers is simple: To involve children in scuba diving, freediving, snorkeling, and mermaid so they can experience the excitement of water exploration!

Rescue Explorers learn to identify an emergency situation, learn to initiate the rescue chain, and practice the duties of each member of the chain. They will learn the additional steps involved when the emergency involves a diving accident, and how to include the Divers Alert Network. They will encounter simulated emergency situations, simulate calls to EMS as well as DAN, and demonstrate how to manage the scene of the emergency. In the water, they will practice skills to aid in minor dive related incidents such as cramp removal and towing a tired diver.

Required equipment: Students must provide their own swimsuit, mask, snorkels and fins. All other equipment including tanks, regulators and buoyancy compensator will be provided.
Additional information: Participants must be at least 8 years of age and must be comfortable in water and be able to maintain their buoyancy in water too deep to stand in. Must sign waiver and must have parent or guardian-signed waiver.

Schedule and availability vary based on the child’s and instructors schedule, number of participants, and the SCUBA Explorer session being conducted.
