As a PaddleDive facility we offer two certification levels, Adult (16 years of age and above) and Junior (6-15 years of age). The knowledge, skills, and performance requirement's are the same for both levels, however a Junior is required to take the class with their parental guardian. The Junior certification states that, once certified, they must be in direct supervision of an adult while enjoying the sport of SUP. Certification levels teach the proper knowledge and skills to operate a SUP safely in a variety of environments. It also allows an individual to rent equipment and access some SUP areas throughout the world that are normally closed to those who are not certified. By combining certifications (snorkeling and SUP, Zuba and SUP, or scuba and SUP) you are able to increase the fun of Stand Up Paddle Boarding.
