Kids Sea Camp is the brain child of Margo
Peyton. A scuba diver since 1989, This Scuba mom with
husband Tom ,two kids of her own, Jen and Robbie, decided it was
important for her family to spend time together doing what she

What a fantastic summer! We at Kids
Sea Camp enjoyed sharing our 2007 family dive adventures with all of
you who joined us this year for the first time as well as the many
families that come back year after year. It's incredible to
watch all your kids that have traveled with us from the time they
were little SASSY kids, just snorkeling for the first time, and then
seeing them advance to Seal Team divers, zipping around the shallows
like stealthy Ninja divers fearless of any fish. Then
amazingly becoming certified divers, like getting a license to drive
their own car, mom and dad's eager to join on their long awaited
family dives. Kids Sea camp contributes to hundreds of kids
each year becoming PADI certified divers. Hence, our Ocean
discoverer's. This will be the new term for our current teens,
as thanks to PADI allowing kids age 10 and up to get certified,
"Teen" doesn't apply to all our new divers. Kids Sea Camp
enjoyed hosting our teen diver program to over 150 certified kids
this year. This program included, many specialty courses, such
as Underwater Navigation, Buoyancy Control, Fish ID, Adventure
Diver, UW Photo and more. Our certified kids enjoyed, night
dives and sea scooter dives and wall and wreck dives as well as
dolphin dives and shark dives, many became PADI Jr. Advanced divers.

Honduras There are 3 great weeks to choose from. Calm clear
Caribbean water to dive. From crab races, to snorkeling with nurse
sharks, fire dancers and live entertainment almost nightly featuring
local delights, this couldn’t get any better. Want to swing on
a Canopy tour with a monkey or horse back ride on the beach any
day? Divers and non divers couldn’t ask for more.

relaxing, easy and sooooo much fun. Our smallest weeks, but

baby turtles hatching and Moogie singing at sunset, who
could ask for anything else? I loved all the donkeys chasing
the car and touring the island seeing beautiful pink
flamingos, light houses, windmills and stopping for a swim at Lac
