Scuba Certification Camp

Snorkel, Scuba, and Marine Life Education Camps

The Open Water Scuba Camp at Jack’s Diving Locker Offers Kids the Opportunity to Discover the Beauty of the Underwater World While Learning New Skills and Making New Friends.

Campers earn their Scuba Certification with the PADI Open Water Diver course. The camp includes pool dives, open water dives, and a boat trip with extras such as an introduction to Hawaiian marine life and caring for the ocean with a shoreline clean-up at one of the local Kona beaches. To get started the campers will complete online PADI eLearning at home before camp. Upon successful completion of the camp, students will receive the PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification for ages 10-14 or Open Water Diver certification for ages 15 and up.

The PADI eLearning program allows you to start the PADI Open Water Diver course immediately with an on-line eLearning course.
