Scuba Certifications

Safely anchored, you'll dinghy to one of our dive boats, head off to the site, and plunge into the blue to get working on your dive certifications. Sail Caribbean Divers, our own PADI 5-Star Gold Palm IDC Resort in the BVI, offers our teen scuba camps a comprehensive dive education program using custom-built dive boats and complete inventory of first-rate dive equipment. As a beginner, you'll be able to earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification on the Charlie 1 OW Scuba program, but your summer adventures don't have to stop there. Certified divers can further their skills on our Charlie Advanced Scuba programs by earning advanced scuba certifications and specialties, including National Geographic Diver, Dive Propulsion Vehicle Diver, and more. You can become a certified wreck diver, hone your underwater navigation skills or even learn how to rescue divers in distress.  Students on our Charlie programs last year earned an average of four certifications and specialties per program!
