The department/ stall which I admired the most in Mishref Exhibition Ground,was that which exhibited the activities of Kuwait Dive Team and Padi Seal Team.
Kuwait Dive Team is a team of Kuwaiti young men who are attempting rescuing and rehabilitating Kuwaiti marine environment through dedicated and distinct marine operations. They gave us a nice CD where the work they had done and plan to do are beautifully shown. The main objectives of Kuwait Dive Team is rehabilitating and protecting marine environment; encouraging voluntary activities to serve the environment and qualifying national staff specialized in marine projects and operations. They also give Scuba Diving Course.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to dive with flashlights, take digital pictures underwater or float effortlessly like an astronaut? Have you ever wanted to do Scuba diving and see the beautiful underwater world? The PADI SEAL TEAM will help you to do all these....it is for young divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by doing exciting scuba AquaMissions. I always wanted to do Scuba Diving....a dream ...an urge to try it at least once in a life time. And when I saw and met members of Padi Seal Team I was thrilled....my dream will become a reality during my stay in Kuwait.
They offer Discover Scuba Diving course which is free and runs for around 3 hours. Once you take the course and feel like scuba diving is something you want to get into then you can sign up to the Open Water / Advance course which is KD140. That course involves 5 pool dives, 5 classroom sessions and 4 open water sea dives. Once you complete that course you would get your scuba diving certificate and will be able to go diving with other certified scuba divers without a need for an instructor.
