Spend an exciting day with the Adventurers and Aquatrek Adventures
learning the basics of scuba diving through the SSI Try Scuba program.
Aquatrek will fit you with gear and teach you safety and how to use
the equipment. Girls will get in the indoor pool with scuba gear and
practice underwater breathing and a few basic skills. There will be 4
sessions with 8 girls per session. Please indicate your first and
second choices on the registration. We can't guarantee a specific
session and will fill the early sessions first. This is a great way to
see if you would like to train to become a certified diver.
