PADI SEAL TEAM CLUB
Under direct supervision of our certified PADI Instructors, the Scubado Club is a diving community of young divers that teaches responsibility, respect, and a deep sense of appreciation for the aquatic realm. Including all basic and advanced skills, our training program provides a safe, fun-filled environment for all, regardless of the students’ current aquatic skill level.
Our participants are touched by Scuba Dogs’ unique sense of love, understanding, and commitment for marine conservation matters that will last them a lifetime.
PADI Training Program
To master the required scuba diving concepts, the training is provided through the PADI Seal Team program with a total of fifteen (15) AquaMissions that are taught step by step to safely learn in a progressive manner. These are divided as follows:
Aquamissions 1-5
Basic diving skills such as equipment assembly, underwater breathing, buoyancy control, underwater signals, safety exercises, and others. Upon completion you obtain the PADI Seal Team Member recognition level.
Aquamissions 6-15
Advanced skills such as compass navigation, underwater photography, search and recovery, rescue skills, wreck diving, fish identification, and night diving, among others. Upon completion you obtain the PADI Master Seal certification.
Confined Trainings
The training program takes place at our 12’ deep heated pool in Guaynabo every Wednesday from 3:30pm to 6:30pm. A dropoff time of 30 minutes before training is permitted to facilitate logistics and assure punctuality. The daily activity is carried out in the following three (3) stages:
Briefing & Setup 3:30pm – 4pm
Let’s get ready! Time to review all skills and training plan, as well as setup the scuba units with our certified PADI Instructors.
Swim & Scuba Training 4pm – 6pm
Time to hit the water! A :30 minute swim and water safety practice continues to strengthen aquatic skills. Then we’re going underground! The scuba diving plan takes place starting in the shallow as we practice basic skills like proper breathing techniques, neutral buoyancy, u/w signals with new buddies, and then progress to advanced skills that continue to learn and reinforce mastery in Photography, Videography, Rescue Scenarios, Search & Recovery, Fish-Id, Underwater Navigation, and more.
Over & Out 6pm – 6:30pm
The training then concludes putting away the gear, filling out logbooks, and conducting constructive debriefing sessions with the PADI professionals to assure fun and constructive learning experience for all participants.
