“The Clan” — A Family of Four Levels Up Together

Over the years, we’ve seen a wonderful trend: more and more young students discovering scuba at an early age. When introduced responsibly, diving becomes not just an activity, but a lifelong passion—and for families who already love the underwater world, the moment their kids turn 10 feels like a milestone worth celebrating.

For Nathan and Jen, both seasoned divers with more than 100 dives each, that moment had arrived. Their children, Justin (13) and Imogen (10), were finally old enough to join the family underwater. With both parents deeply experienced—Nathan and Jen were Advanced Open Water and Enriched Air/Nitrox certified, and Jen was a full PADI Rescue Diver—the kids were more than ready to begin their own scuba journey.

We affectionately came to know them as “The Clan.”

A Fully Customized Family Training Experience

ConciergeScuba created a bespoke training plan designed specifically for the entire family. For Justin and Imogen, the goal was both foundational and exciting:

  • PADI Open Water Diver (or Junior Open Water)
  • PADI Advanced Open Water Diver / Junior Adventure Diver
  • PADI Enriched Air/Nitrox (for Justin)

Meanwhile, we ensured Mom and Dad didn’t just sit on the sidelines. Nathan completed his long-anticipated Rescue Diver training, and both parents earned additional specialty certifications to complement their experience.

By the end of an incredible week, the results spoke for themselves:

  • Justin and Imogen emerged as confident, capable young divers with multiple certifications under their belts.
  • Nathan and Jen had accumulated enough specialty training—combined with their new Rescue Diver credentials—to qualify for the prestigious PADI Master Scuba Diver Rating, the highest non-professional distinction in recreational diving.

Underwater, this family became an absolute force.

A Curated Gear Upgrade for Growing Divers

To complete their transformation, we helped The Clan modernize their gear. Their ConciergeScuba instructor personally curated selections for each family member, replacing outdated or worn equipment for Mom and Dad and outfitting the kids with their first truly premium setups.

For Justin and Imogen, we opted to hold off on purchasing BCDs—nature has a few growth spurts planned for them—but ensured they each received:

  • Personal regulator sets
  • Dive computers
  • High-quality masks, fins, and snorkels

For a young diver, having their own properly fitted gear builds comfort, confidence, and enthusiasm from day one.
