TEEN OPPORTUNITIES?

[Pacific NW]

Looking for volunteer or research opportunities for PADI-certified Open Water TEEN divers - either in the Pacific Northwest during the academic year OR anywhere during the summers. Suggestions? Thanks!

Actually any sugestions for a summer program (2-3 weeks) for a HS senior during the 2024 summer would be amazing!!! Camps,university programs etc....incuding programs we would have to pay. She has 100+ dives in North East and Florida.

Have a look at this. I’ve done guided cave dives with Scott Davenport, the director. Scuba camp for teens.

This may be getting a bit away from what the OP was asking about (research opportunities), but I'll share below my **very rough notes** that I put together for my 18 year old son (he ended up getting a scholarship that required starting college in the summer, so he was not able to do these) -- most of these are DiveMaster (DM) class/internship opportunities.

Not an official program, but I will be doing some dives in Bellingham documenting a wreck I found and could use some help. Probably start in the spring.
