Come dive with us.

The path, in order

1. Try it first at a Discover Scuba Experience (DSE). We encourage every prospective adaptive diver to try a DSE before committing to the full course.
2. Medical questionnaire. Before anything in the water, complete the Diver Medical Participant Questionnaire (linked on this page). If any answer requires physician sign-off, that approval is needed before the DSE.
3. Try the DSE, then decide. If they like it, they move forward into training.
4. $100 deposit to get started — fully refunded upon completion of certification.
5. Online academics. Self-paced eLearning, roughly 8 hours.
6. Pool session.
7. Two ocean sessions.
8. Certified for life. Same lifetime certification as any other diver — the only difference is Grateful Divers Worldwide works out how many dive buddies they’ll need for their sessions.
9. Join the WhatsApp community — same group as volunteers — and from there they can help recruit their own buddies.
10. Ongoing dives after certification are covered through subsidies from Scuba4Good.
