Reviewed by Deidra N. Herring, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OHHosts, Matt and Britney, travel to the coast off the Caribbean to share their experiences as they learn about marine life through the Certified Kids Program for diving and the Dolphin Academy. The audience is treated with an extra episode with younger host, Jason, who becomes a member of the Seal Team.
The DVD is an excellent way to introduce children to what it takes to explore the ocean floor and become marine animal trainers. The learning process is captured inside and outside of the classroom for specialized instruction ending with underwater graduation for students. The film offers an amazing look at underwater shots of coral reefs and a spectrum of sea life for participants to identify and interact with at the Curacao Sea Aquarium. The video takes the audience inside this special camp offering rare opportunities for children and families to participate in.
Kid Guides has received a generous number of awards including an Emmy and the “Seal of Approval” from the Parents Television Council. The videos would be a great addition to any public library or school media collection.
