Sine the pool we used to use had a fire at the end of 2006, we have been looking for a suitable pool to restart the Seal Team.  The only time we can have more than one lane in the pool next door is on Wednesday evenings, which is too late for Seals!  We have been looking for a pool that is warm and covered!  Watch this space!

Birthday Parties

We can arrange Birthday parties for children or adults. We can take up to six students and introduce them to the underwater world! You'll have the chance to play with the underwater frisbee and Mr Sharky!  Please contact us for more details.

       All participants will receive a certificate to
       commemorate their achievement.

       If you prefer, we also offer snorkelling parties! 

A birthday group having fun under the water!!

PADI Seal Team is a Scuba Diving Course especially designed for children ages 8-12 years old.  All the sessions take place within the safe confines of a local pool, where the Seals learn many of the skills as someone taking the full Open Water Course.  Having completed the first five Aquamissions, they become certified PADI Seal Members, with their very own Diving Certification Card.  The Seals then progress onto the Specialty Aquamissions, which range from Search & Recovery, through Night and even a Wreck dive!!  They will practice controlling their buoyancy, learn to tie knots underwater, use a compass and recognise many aquatic creatures that can be found off the Southwest coast.  Weather permitting, we will take the Seals Skin Diving in the sea, once they have completed their Skin Diving Aquamission (hopefully by boat!)

Its not all work, we also play underwater frisbee and, invented by our Seals, Underwater Stick in the Mud!!!

If you have children who would be interested in becoming PADI Seals, please contact the Dive Centre.

Seal Team members have their very own website.

Junior Open Water Divers

Proving that the Seal Team provides a really good grounding for youngsters wishing to progress further:

James became an Open Water Diver over the summer, finishing his sea dives in the Red Sea, then joining us off Babbacombe for a dive on his return.

Anastasia started her Open Water course on her 10th birthday - unfortunately she had ear problems, so we signed off as a Scuba Diver ready for her holiday in the Seychelles.  She will complete her Open Water course next summer now.

Master Seal

Many congratulations to Anastasia who completed her fifteenth Aquamission at the end of the summer term and became JCD's first ever Master Seal! As her last Aquamission was Skin Diver, she has also qualified as a PADI Skin Diver.

Well done too, to James and Jamie who also qualified as PADI Skin Divers.

Seals in the Red Sea

Jamie Spencer, another of our Seals, was lucky enough to jet off to the Red Sea in October. Below is a picture of him on a dive

Class of Autumn 2005

Another class of Seals graduated just before Christmas, so we held a celebration party at the Dive Centre with mince pies and chocolate logs.  Congratulations to all of them!  Three spent Christmas in the sun with their families, so hopefully were able to use their skills, and another Seal went on a last minute holidays to the Red Sea with his family.  Become a Seal and see the world!!

Class of Summer 2005

Our first Seals were certified in June 2005, and we celebrated with a barbecue at the Dive Centre on a wonderful sunny Sunday evening.  They are now diving hard to become Master Seals.  Some of their photos are shown below....
