What's Required to participate?
Your children must have basic swimming skills, be comfortable in the water, and be in good health.  Scuba Rangers students are expected to make a commitment to learning proper diving skills and following safe diving practices, and to having fun!  During pool training sessions, your children are always under the direct supervision of a certified Scuba Ranger Instructor.  Children between the ages 12 to 16 must have a parent or legal guardian present during all pool training sessions and diving activities.  You do not have to be a certified scuba diver to participate.

For the pool training sessions, students must have a scuba mask, adjustable fins, dive boots, and snorkel.  You may purchase this basic equipment package at our Reading, PA dive center.  Please let us know if your children plan to use any equipment that they may already own.  Scuba Venture provides all of the required scuba equipment: scuba tanks, regulators, gauges, a buoyancy compensator, and a weight belt.
