TDS Summer Scuba Camp

Summer Scuba Camps

Our summer scuba camps are an immersive (har har) experience where each student learns how to scuba dive with our experienced instructor in a relaxed environment. In addition, by the end of the course you will earn a lifetime diving certification valid throughout the world. Learning how to scuba is more than simply a fun summer experience, it’s a gateway to a lifelong passion in exploring our underwater world. 

Each Scuba camp is conducted over 5 days and ends with a guided celebration (fun) dive as a certified diver, a cookout and a chance to sit down with your camp mates and instructor to go over the week, share your stories and learn more about diving throughout the world.
