I was the leader of the scuba diving section of Sea Turtle Summer camp for the 2022 season. While in this position I lead different groups of around 10-12 kids - aged 13-17- through their PADI open water, advanced open water and rescue diving certifications. As a Unit Leader I was also in charge of managing a staff of 3 other individuals and coordinating with upper management regarding everything from scheduling boat days and lessons to making sure that every kid got their meds on time. It was an incredibly challenging position, as we worked long hours with the kids in both 5 day and 12 day cycles. Furthermore we not only had to make sure they got certified but also make plan supplementary activities to ensure they were having fun at summer camp as well. Along with teaching them about Scuba diving we also taught lessons based in Marine biology, ecology and conservation.
