    Scuba Diving Summer Programs

    Travel to exotic locations and explore the sea by enrolling in a Scuba Diving Summer Program. Students who have never dived underwater and those who are experienced divers can get a lot out of these programs, as expert instructors teach fundamentals and advanced techniques. Basic skills include buoyancy, controlled descents, clearing your mask, emergency ascents and hand signals. These programs take participants on scuba adventures to tropical locations like the Fiji islands, Costa Rica and Panama. They often feature additional activities including whitewater rafting, surfing, hiking, waterfall rappelling and sailing. Explore coral reefs, diverse varieties of fish, and underwater caves. These programs are often several days or weeks with overnight stays.
