The Junior Scuba Camp meets at the shop Mon-Thurs for classroom and pool training and then Philadelphia Quarry Friday & Saturday for open water dives. This camp includes a Jr. Open Water Diver certification. The course outline is identical to that of the SSI Open Water Diver Certification course, although the certification itself has some restrictions for your child’s safety:
- (1) SSI Junior Open Water Divers are certified to a maximum depth of 40′
