Q: How can an individual register for ScubaJam?
We are updating our registration details so please check back here soon!
Q: Can the instructor for the unit do training dives at ScubaJam?
Yes. Although the event is primarily designed to allow youth divers to spend the weekend diving with friends as buddy teams, an instructor can do whatever training he/she chooses.
Q: Why does the participating unit have to have its own divemaster or instructor?
The unit must act to meet the responsibilities for the diviing activities of its members. To meet the unit requirements of a responsible leader, that individual must be at least a Divemaster who is authorized by his agency to lead divers. Therefor the Divemaster or Instructor must be both current with his training agency and insured.
Q: Will there be activities for non-divers?
Yes. Some non-diving activities will be possible, but this event is designed for divers. We want youth who are divers to have a weekend where the activities are focused on allowing them to participate as a certified scuba diver with their friends. Certainly non-divers are welcome and will find many of the surface activities fun and interesting; but again, the focus is on young divers going diving.
Q: I dont have my own scuba equiptment. Will I be able to rent some at Lake Rawlings?
Yes. Please check with your local Dive Center sponsor. They might have a special ScubaJam package set up for the weekend. Keep in mind that most places will have a limited supply so contact them early to get info.
Remember- diving with our own Total Diving System makes you a more confident and safe diver. Also check out what packages your dive center might have. There are affordable equipment packages available; all you have to do is ask.
Q: Will there be a chance to do "Discover Scuba" or "Try Scuba"
ScubaJam is set up for already certified scuba divers. However, please contact your local Dive Center to inquire about "Discover Scuba" activities as they may have an Instructor attending ScubaJam.
