SCUBA RANGERS

Scuba Dive Training for Kids

We offer scuba dive training for kids using SSI’s Scuba Rangers Diving program. This is one of the world’s best-developed scuba and snorkeling programmes for children. This programme of dive training is designed for children aged from 8 to 12.  the Scuba Rangers classes are safe, taught only by instructors specifically trained in the Rangers programme, and introduces your child to the wonders of the water in a gentle, multi-faceted manner.

KIDS & SCUBA RANGERS DIVING

Scuba Rangers is not just a diving course, it can also be a long term activity if they want to become part of a Scuba Rangers Club. As part of the club sessions they learn about our environment, get more diving experience and have a fun time together. They will try underwater photography or night diving with torches in the swimming pool, visit zoos and aquariums, go to the cinema or take part in other challenging activities.

SAFETY

Safety is a top priority. Scuba Rangers programs can only be taught by specially trained instructors in a pool (or under confined water conditions in a protected area) up to a maximum depth of 4 meters (12 feet). In depths greater than 1.50 meters (5 feet) there is a one-to-two instructor-to-student ratio.

SCUBA RANGERS INSTRUCTORS

SSI Instructors are only allowed to teach if they are affiliated with an SSI Facility. This concept – unique in the industry – allows direct monitoring of all active SSI Dive Professionals to ensure the highest quality education.

The Scuba Ranger Instructors who teach children diving school courses have not only been deemed excellent divers by our strict SSI standards, they have also had special training in how to teach diving to children specifically. During the Scuba Rangers sessions and club activities, safety always comes first; the instructor-student ratio is always respected, and sufficient medical resources are always close at hand.

The SCUBA RANGERS Philosophy

To keep it simple and fun, we have designed the SCUBA RANGERS Star, which defines the five points of a successful SCUBA RANGER:

Proper Knowledge: Rangers must learn the rules of responsible diving.

Proper Skills: Rangers must learn and practice basic scuba skills.

Proper Equipment: Rangers must learn to use basic scuba equipment, and should own snorkeling equipment, and properly maintain and care for all their equipment.

Proper Experience: Rangers should maintain diving proficiency, dive within their limits, and continue to learn more about scuba and water exploration.

Training: Scuba Rangers begin out of the water, focusing on becoming comfortable with the idea of diving, and learning about breathing, helping peers, and becoming familiar with equipment.

Training is broken out in 5 different levels. The kids are taught the skills and knowledge they need to become safe and successful divers in a fun yet controlled environment.
