ALTHOUGH IT SAYS TRIP, PLEASE NOTE, THIS INFO AND REGISTRATION IS FOR DAY CAMP, NOT A TRIP. 

Welcome to Family Dive Club's Summer Camp Registration. We know there are many summer camp options to choose from and we are thrilled you are interested in Family Dive Club's programs to enrich your child's summer experience. We are committed to providing fun, active, and engaging experiences where children gain knowledge and skills serving them long after camp is over. 

Ages 12-18 

Each weeklong fun-filled summer camp is open to students ages 12-18. Campers will have an opportunity to earn a PADI Advanced Open Water or Jr. Advanced Open Water Certification depending on age. Camp will take place at Blue Water Scuba,  Blue Water Park - Pelham, AL (bluewaterparkal.com) 

The  PADI® Advanced Course helps young divers take their diving to the next level. Under the direct supervision of PADI professionals, campers will be exposed to a variety of new underwater activities such as Advanced Navigation Techniques, Advanced Buoyancy Skills, Search and Recovery, Wreck etc. 

For every specialty dive they complete, they can earn credit toward PADI® specialty certifications, some of which include Underwater Photography, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Enriched Air Nitrox, Project Aware, Dive Against Debris, Search and Recovery, and Delayed Surface Marker Buoy. 

Campers will have the opportunity to make 10 supervised dives throughout the week.

Camp takes place Monday - Friday 9:00 to 3:00. . 

 To enroll in the PADI Advanced Open Water Scuba Camp or Junior Advanced Open Water Diver Scuba Camp you must be:

• 12 years or older
• Open Water Certified
• Complete the required forms - Once your camper is registered, you will receive an email from PADI with all the required forms.
• Complete this registration form
• Pay deposit

Campers will have the opportunity to log at least 10 supervised dives during the week at camp while they earn their Advanced Certification. In addition, they will add new skills and greater self-confidence in the water.  They will also have opportunities to earn additional specialties.

The Master Scuba Diver (MSD) rating is one of the most respected and sought-after achievements in recreational diving. It represents the highest non-professional certification level in the PADI system. To qualify for MSD, a diver must earn their Rescue Diver certification (after Advanced), complete 50 logged dives, and achieve five specialty certifications.

With that in mind, campers interested in working toward their Master Scuba Diver rating may add specialty courses during Advanced Camp. Specialty options offered at camp include:

• Underwater Photography

• Peak Performance Buoyancy

• Enriched Air Nitrox

• PADI AWARE

• Dive Against Debris

• Delayed Surface Marker Buoy (DSMB)
