diving lessons for kids

Question
Hi there,
I currently live in Destin, Fl and am looking to get my 9 year old daughter into diving lessons. I am having trouble locating any coaching for her. Can you please help in my search.
Thank you!!!

It looks like the city you live in does not have a pool with the diving equipment necessary for diving lessons. I could only find one pool (a YMCA)in Destin and did not find diving lessons available.

The closest city to you with a diving program is 50 miles west in Pensacola. The website address is ww.portcitydiving.com. I know that it is quite a ways to drive but you may just try making a visit on a day and time when they are teaching lessons to girls her age. Have her bring her suit as very often a free trial is offered. If she likes it, you could try it for a month or so diving one day per week for an hour. The next closest city with diving lessons is in Tallahassee and that of course is way too far to drive.

Good luck.
