Kids Exposure Protection
If anyone needs exposure protection while in the water, it would have to be your kids. The exposure protection includes steamer and shorty style wetsuits, plus rash vests. The shorties help to slow down the heat loss speed in the water, while the steamers and rash vests will protect them from sunburn. These items are specifically designed with children in mind and parents will appreciate the quality and effectiveness while the kids will appreciate the comfort they provide and how cool they they look when they have them on. It is important for a your child or junior to be just as comfortable as an adult and our accessories add comfort while enhancing your kid's adventure.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Always check the validity of information with local authorities, especially in regards to restrictions of diving in the area. As information on this dive site database is obtained through multiple sources, the accuracy of the information cannot be guarunteed. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.
The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source, e.g. GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
If you don't understand the differences between the different ways coordinates are given, plus how different datum come into play, you might find the article GPS Conversions by Lloyd Borrett a useful read. It describes the problems associated with locating dive sites using a GPS receiver.
