The Scooba Explorers is for young scuba divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by completing exciting Scooba Missions. Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater or float effortlessly? Beyond learning basic scuba skills, there are specialty Scooba Missions, such as wreck diving, navigation, buoyancy, environmental awareness and more.  Scooba Explorers includes doing some cool stuff in the pool, meeting friends and sharing in the adventure of the underwater world. To join the Scooba Explorers, a child must be 8 years of age or older. No prior experience with scuba diving is necessary, but kids should be comfortable in the water. Parental approval is required.

The Scooba Explorers program teaches responsibility and respect for the aquatic realm. It’s broken into two parts.

Part one, Scooba Missions 1 - 5, covers basic scuba diving skills, such as breathing underwater, clearing a mask of water, recovering a regulator and swimming around experiencing the sensation of being weightless. Each session takes about an hour. Complete these Scooba Missions and become a recognized Scooba Explorer Team Member. Your experience may also count toward the Open Water Diver course when you’re old enough to participate in the course.

Part two, 10 specialty Scooba Missions, includes adventures like creature identification, search and recovery diving, and skin diving. Complete all of these and you’ll become a Master Scooba Explorer Member – joining an elite group of young scuba divers.

In the Scooba Explorer program, you learn to use basic scuba gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device, dive gauges and a tank.
