KID'S SEA CAMP WEEK 2012
Week 1: July 7-14, 2012
Week 2: July 14-21, 2012
 
Kid's Sea Week 2012 will see lots of kids and their families enjoy their summer family dive vacation at Divetech and Cobalt Coast Dive Resort. You can still make your reservation so you and your kids don't miss out on a fantastic summer dive vacation for the whole family!
Divetech at Cobalt Coast Dive Resort hosts the Kid's Sea Camp Week in Grand Cayman. This is definitely not your father's summer camp.
What's the difference?
 It's the only program that includes ocean diving for the kids plus they get certification cards in several programs. SEALs, Adventure/JOW Diver and Photo/Scooter divers get a free camera to take home full of the summer memories. Our packages are complete - no hidden charges.
We dedicate 2 weeks of summertime for family fun and adventure - this is a truly unique program and you will not experience anything else like this. 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 dive 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 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.
