SCUBA

Ship 2 Adventure

We SCUBA Dive.

Its is fun, thrilling, mind-opening, challenging, and not cheap!

SCUBA is what we want to do, yet it costs more than we have in our pockets. So, we constantly search for ways to save money while remaining safe.

Thankfully, we have access to resources of the Sea Scouts, BSA, and their Sea Scout Scuba program.

This is an exclusive opportunity from Sea Scout, BSA in cooperation with SDI.

A new program Sᶟ (Sea Scout Scuba) with SDI® (Scuba Diving International®) gives a unique opportunity to create a new generation of divers for dive shops to identify and interact with the Sea Scouts BSA. Interacting with these young and adventurous scouts helps encourage a lifetime love of diving and promotes conservation of the seas under the tutelage of enthusiastic and experienced adult divers. Let us give you the road map.

Scouts must file a BSA Medical ABC form as well as the RSTC form on file with the ship.
