A massive congratulations to our newest Sea Cadet divers! ⚓️

This past weekend, we had the honor of hosting and training an incredible group of young leaders from the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps. We had Cadets ages 11 to 16 showing incredible focus, teamwork, and maturity beyond their years along with coast-to-coast representation, with Cadets traveling all the way from Massachusetts to California to train with us!

It was a monumental weekend at the shop and in the water:

- 36 Cadets successfully earned their Open Water Diver certifications!

- 5 Cadets pushed their limits to earn their Advanced Open Water certifications!

What is the Sea Cadet program?

The U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps is a premier, Navy-sponsored youth leadership development program. It builds marvelously resilient citizens by teaching teamwork, discipline, maritime skills, and leadership through real-world naval and adventure training.

An undertaking of this size truly required all hands on deck. A massive thank you to the entire Ski Scuba Center crew—our tireless instructors, dedicated assistants, and shop staff—who worked around the clock to keep training safe, smooth, and unforgettable.

Bravo Zulu, cadets! Your next underwater mission awaits.
