Troop 282 Adventure Crew is planning to travel to Sea Base in the Summer of 2027. This is our information page with links and information. We are currently in the initial stage of Crew and Adults. We are planning to take a total of 12 people (8 Scout and 4 adults). There is a list of scouts that are already interested and the spots are limited. If you would like to be added to the list the deadline is February 10, 2026. Email Mr. Brock at james.r.brock@live.com. Please make sure you put your parents on the emails as well since I do not respond to emails directly from scout without another adult added.
Sea Base is a unique Scouting program that offers aquatics programs found nowhere else. Whether your interests lie in sailing, scuba diving, rustic camping on an undeveloped barrier island, fishing or a combination of all, this is the place for your Troop, Team, Crew, Sea Ship or Explorer Post. Sea Base serves around 16,000 participants annually.
We are looking at one of two adventures.
SCUBA Advanced Marine Exploration
If you are looking for an adventure where you will earn a PADI Advanced Scuba certification and help the reef environment, then this is the adventure for you. How many people can say they have transplanted living coral from a nursery onto a reef? This is only one of the exciting aspects of this adventure. Whether you are doing a night dive on the reef or a deep dive to gain experience, the Advanced class will definitely enhance your diving skills. You will be doing 11 or more dives, including a night dive (weather permitting). Medical restrictions apply.
SCUBA Live Aboard 10-12
Sea Base has combined scuba with a live aboard experience to create one incredible adventure. You will spend your days discovering the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary above and below the water’s surface. This adventure offers a crew size of 10-12 people. For groups of 10-12 your home for the week will be aboard two vessels. During this adventure, you will dive 11 or more times including at least one night dive (weather permitting). When you are not diving, there will be opportunities for fishing and cruising the Florida Keys. You must be a certified diver to participate as a diver and snorkelers are welcome to participate in this program. Medical restrictions apply
