NAUI Worldwide has launched the Young Aquatic Explorers Program for kids aged 8 and up. This program offers five courses, called “explorations,” to introduce young learners to snorkeling and confined-water diving. Participants gain skills needed for NAUI Junior Open Water Diver Certification, teaching them about dive equipment, safety, diving science, environmental changes, and skin diving. The program is designed to empower youth for safe underwater exploration and to foster a passion for marine stewardship.
