SCUBA EXPLORERS
SSI Explorers - Unforgettable Aquatic Adventures for Kids!
The SSI Explorers program allows children starting at age six* to go underwater and sample the different ways they can explore the aquatic world around them. They will gain a solid foundation in ocean conservation and have the opportunity to experience four main aquatic adventures: snorkeling, scuba diving, freediving, and swimming like a real mermaid. These underwater adventures will enable young divers to acquire maturity, self-esteem, and a sense of responsibility.
*Some programs have a minimum requirement of 8 years of age.
How does the SSI Explorers program work?
Participants must complete the Blue Oceans and Snorkel Explorers programs first.
This provides a solid foundation for water skills and the importance of protecting the aquatic environment.
SSI Blue Oceans Explorer
This classroom based program provides an introduction of the importance of protecting and preserving the world’s oceans. Your child will learn why the oceans are important, about the world’s five oceans, and what they can do to help protect the oceans.
Snorkel Explorer
Your child can then head to the pool to learn about snorkel equipment and snorkeling skills to earn their Snorkel Explorer rating.
Join Emma and Nico on exciting
underwater adventures!
This program includes a comprehensive printed SSI Explorers manual to guide your children through the educational content in a fun and engaging way.
During the SSI Explorers pool sessions, safety always comes first. SSI Explorers can only be taught by specially trained instructors in a pool up to a maximum depth of 4 meters (12 feet), and the instructor-student ratio is always respected.
After completing these two initial experiences, SSI Explorers can choose from one (or all three!) of three aquatic adventures and either become a Scuba Explorer, Mermaid Explorer, or Freediving Explorer.

Includes four additional pool sessions using scuba equipment to breathe underwater!
MERMAID EXPLORER
