EXPERIENCE BEFORE DEPTH - the series
The Experience Before Depth books are a perfect blend of adventure, education, and safety, making it a must-have training companion and guide for all kids and teens who love diving, and their parents.
With a dynamic and playful approach, young divers are inspired and encouraged to focus on safety and mastery of skills. The books are expertly written, with colorful illustrations and pictures and easy-to-understand texts. Interactive links add an extra dimension, bringing the content to life with engaging video clips. Practical hints and hands-on learning make it easy to grasp the fundamentals in a playful way.
Rather than learning everything at once, each book covers a specific, age-appropriate selection of content from the many topics and materials of a traditional Junior Open Water Dive course. The same SCUBA skills and techniques are explained in easy language, introducing them gradually in extremely shallow water environments. Young divers can progress through them over time, at their own pace, building confidence and competence over time.
Designed for enjoyment and learning, these books are perfect for SCUBA-certified parents to read together with their aspiring young divers, creating a bonding experience and reinforcing fundamental safety and behavioral skills.
EXPERIENCE BEFORE DEPTH - the training
The books have been reviewed by NAUI, and align with corresponding training courses and certifications available on NAUI’s website. With practice, experience, and fun in shallow depths, kids and teens can seamlessly transition their newfound skills into natural behaviors and reactions underwater. As they grow and mature, they can progress year-over-year to deeper dives and lay a foundation of experience to take onto their SCUBA certification at an older age.
