SCUBA Advanced Marine Exploration (June 12-18)If you are looking for an adventure where you will earn a PADI Advanced Scuba certification and help the reef environment, then this is the adventure for you. How many people say they have transplanted living coral from a nursery onto a reef? This is only one of the exciting aspects of this adventure. Whether doing a night dive on the reef or a deep dive to gain experience, the Advanced class will enhance your diving skills. You will do 11 or more dives, including a night dive (weather permitting). We are an all-male crew (6 BSA scouts + 2 adults) from Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council, looking for up to 4 scouts/adults interested in this program. Note that prior scuba experience with PADI L1 Open Water certification is required for this crew.

We are BSA Troop 3B out of Ambler, PA. We have two crews for the Keys Adventure. We have one crew with two open spots and a second with three open spots. The crew with two open spots has two female leaders, so we can accept either two male OR female youths on that crew. The other crew can be male youth/leaders. All of our leaders have the required CPR / Wilderness First Aid training. We will also be at Camp Sawyer for two days before we start our adventure, which could be great for meeting and integrating ahead of beginning the Sea Base portion of the trip. If you would like to discuss or get more information, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Join us for the best adventure at Sea Base! We have three, possibly four, openings on our crew. Our crew has three adult leaders. One is a PADI Course Director (the person who trains dive instructors!) with 2500+ dives, and another has almost 400 dives. The kids’ experience ranges from half pending certification, a few with ten, and one with 30+ dives. We are a combined Council crew from Vancouver, WA, but we don’t care where you are from. We’ll meet your Scout at MIA or FLL, and we’ll have people there a few days early and one day late to ensure no Scout is left at the airport or arrives and doesn’t have anyone to meet them. Just check with us before booking the flight so we can make sure everyone is covered. Most of our crew will arrive Saturday, visit the Everglades on Sunday, and then head down to check in Monday. Please email me if interested, and we’ll coordinate the details. You must be 13, scuba certified before the event, and pass the stringent Sea Base physical exams. Yes, we have room for up to two adults. Yes, we would welcome young women with a female leader. Yes, we are going to have a great time!
