Borneo Divers and its subsidiary Borneo Divers Training Institute, have taken another step forward in bringing in a new product which focuses on family ties `Kids Scuba Camp’.
This program will also promote Kota Kinabalu and Sabah as an ideal family diving destination particularly Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.
65 children and parents from Selangor together with 19 press and TV crews have taken part in the Kids Scuba Camp that will be held on the 30th November and 1st of December 2008 in Mamutik Island in the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park off Kota Kinabalu. The objective of this program is to promote family unity, responsibility and diving education.
These families will go through series of fun filled activities which will involve scuba diving for children from 8 years to 12 years old in the pristine shallow water Mamutik Island could offer and Boat Diving with parents for Certified Jr. Open Water Diver. Families will also have the opportunity to try out the SeaDoo Divers Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) during the 2 days program.
SeaDoo Divers Propulsion vehicle (DPV) is an easy light weight battery operated machine ( close to soundless) that is safe and easy to operate and it is a practical piece of equipment which can be used for snorkelling or diving. Introduction course as well as certification program are available and can only be obtained through only our subsidiary Borneo Divers Training Institute.
Apart from scuba diving, children and parents will jointly participate in local games such as “Main Gala” and “Main Kingking”. These games also give an insight on the traditional games of thus promoting cultural Sabah. Also organised are quizzes based on Marine Life and Diving Theory where winners will win exciting prizes such as Dive Watches, Scuba Gears and Dive Packages.
The Value of this Kids Scuba Camp program is to instil the importance of reef protection through diving education. Programs such as this will give birth to a new generation of young divers who are caring and responsible. These generations of divers will become the future educators of our aquatic realm to help overcome the degradation of our reefs and ocean environment.
