OCEAN DISCOVERY - TEEN DIVER WEEK 2009
Week
1: July 4-11, 2009
Week
2: July 11-18, 2009
Divetech at Cobalt Coast Dive Resort hosts
the Teen Diver Ocean Discovery Week in Grand Cayman. This is not your father's summer camp.
What's the difference?
It's the only program that includes ocean diving for the kids!
We dedicate 2 weeks of summertime
for family fun and adventure. While your parents are out
exploring the deep walls and colorful reefs of Grand Cayman's famous North Wall enjoying dive freedom (100% computer profiles),
you are enrolled in water-based programs either learning to
dive and learning about the marine environment that you will inherit. Or you are advancing your diving certification to the next level! The programs are fully supervised by Dive Instructors
and are action packed including marine identification, conservation,
digital underwater photography, underwater scooters, turtle release and tons
more! As our ambassadors of the sea for future generations,
you will be taught to more about the
marine creatures you already love and respect.
It's a full week with fun for your whole family. Click on the link below to see what's included in your child's program.

Teen Week is a custom package designed for kids looking for great underwater adventure and their families. What's the difference between our package and other programs -- our primary focus is on ocean adventure for the entire family in a safe environment where you learn responsibility for an ocean that you will inherit. We know that many
destinations are competing for your attention offering special
“deals” that don't include all of the package components included in our packages.
But, at Cobalt Coast Dive Resort you know how much your total bill
is before you arrive. The only items not charged in our packages are
your alcoholic beverages and dive staff
gratuities.
We
believe Cobalt Coast Dive Resort offers real price value with
competitive pricing and no hidden charges. We offer only
a few simple things such as luxurious accommodations with modern conveniences in a great
location, personalized service by a professional resort
& a professional dive staff giving you and your children an experience with many great memories
of an island treasure that you and your family won't find
anywhere else in the world.
Don't
compromise your children's legacy. When your kids
participate with Divetech's Teen Week Ocean Discovery program, they
will learn eco responsibility and in turn will hold in trust
the beauty of our natural environment for the benefit of
their own children. They will enjoy all of the natural
interaction available to them with marine animals that are
in the wild and in their own native environment. They
will become part of an alien environment and learn to leave
a small carbon footprint with no impact and help to preserve its natural beauty. They
will learn to respect the marine environment while at the
same time, leaving it available for future generations to
enjoy.
