SEVEN MORE TOP PICKS I LOVE AND TRUST: Luxury would for sure be 4. The Arenui . All of their destina- tions! Komodo, Alor, and Raja Ampat, I recommend liveaboard trips with kids age 12+ on a private charter dedicated to families. See our private charter dates and destinations for 2024-2026. 5. The Philippines is my favorite location with Sea Explorers, whose tagline is “dive with a smile!” Taking your kids to dive with Whale Sharks in Oslob turtles at Apo Island and experiencing the largest to most miniature marine animals in one trip is genuinely life-changing. Vida Homes & Pura Vida Resort and Amun ini 10 to 12-night trips in the Philippines are perfect for families. We sell out this trip every year, with a waiting list. Private guides and boats with an experienced kid-friendly dive team are provided on every trip. This dive team loves to play basketball and volleyball with all the kids each afternoon. 6. The Galapagos with Explor- er Ventures aboard the Tiburon Explorer. We provide a kid-friendly, family-friendly experience here. The Cayman Islands offers calm, easy diving for all. This is where my son was born, and my two children learned to dive. 7. Cayman Brac Beach Resort and 8. Little Cayman Beach Resort: My top picks for resorts in the Cay- man Islands. They are family-owned and operated. These two sister islands are easy to travel to, easy diving, and an excellent choice for families and young divers; wrecks, pristine reefs, and schooling fish are guaranteed. Diving liveaboards with kids is only for some. This choice takes much research and experience. For safety and quality, my top picks are 9. Blackbird Caye, Belize (ask us why!) 10. Palau WOW! Blue Corner, Wrecks, sharks, and Jellyfish lake . I have been traveling and exploring the world for over 35 years. These choices are made with partners that I trust and share values with. All are family-owned and family-friendly. With tens of thousands of divers, we have a flawless safety record. Margo Peyton, Owner Kids Sea Camp & Family Dive Adventures, PADI Instructor 57474
