The Dolphin Discovery SCUBA Summer Camp

For Anthony's Key Resort

AKRs dolphin discovery summer camp for children has been raved about for years. While parents enjoy time for themselves, their children learn about and interact with our bottlenose dolphins. Recently we added new programs to the dolphin summer camp, SASY, Bubblemakers and Jr. Certification. Kids are in 2 age divisions: 5-9 and 10-14.

SASY- supplied air snorkeling for youth:
Since summer 2000, AKR has been offering a variety of new water programs for kids, SASY and SASA. The new Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youths (SASY) experience in which children as young as five years old are able to participate combines snorkeling with a BCD-like floatation device, a compressed air tank, and regulator.

Users can swim on the surface without fear of inhaling water through a snorkel tube. The SASY jackets provide ample buoyancy and hold the compressed air securely in place. This program is for kids too young to Scuba dive, ages 5 and up.

There will be a program for adults similar to this called Supplied Air Snorkeling for Adults (SASA). This experience is for adults who have concerns that may inhibit them from going to greater depths.

Bubblemakers:
A Discover Scuba experience for kids 8 years and up. An introduction to breathing air under water. Held in water no deeper than 6 feet, kids get to experience the thrill of Scuba diving in a controlled environment. As part of the program, all participants will receive a PADI Bubblemaker decal, tattoo, toy and certificate of completion.

Jr. Certification -
The age requirement for participation in the PADI Jr. Open Water Certification course has been changed to 10 years old. Upon completion Jr. Open Water Diver 10-12 can now dive to depths of 40Ç with the accompaniment of parent, legal guardian or a PADI professional. Dolphin/Scuba Camp

Children ages 5-14 will learn about interacting with bottlenose dolphins several times during this weeklong program (see schedule of activities below). Oceanside discussions as well as short classroom sessions will be the avenue to teaching the children. Snorkeling trips and other outdoor activities will give your child a real appreciation for the ocean marine life and our environment in general.

Our experienced and knowledgeable staff at IMS are the camp instructors. The schedule will begin on Sunday and end on Friday. A full schedule of camp activities will be given out on Sunday morning during orientation for the campers and parents. Some camp activities include: Snorkeling lessons, marine life slide shows, dolphin feeding sessions, dolphin identification lessons, dolphin evolution, anatomy and physiology lectures and snorkeling with the dolphins.

The cost includes accommodation, all meals, all dolphin camp activities and materials.
The camp will only be conducted for groups of 5-15 children per week.
The cost is based on a maximum of one child per adult staying in the same room.

Below is the schedule for the dolphin/scuba camp.
