We do not have any dates set at this moment. We will have a schedule for the Try SCUBA Diving, Dive Certification classes, Group Dives and Events, in the near future.  Each chapter will have its own Calendar of Events.  Check the Calendar for the chapter you will be joining to see when the next event is and sign-up. 

As a certified open water diver, you’ll be trained to a maximum depth of 60 feet. To be eligible to take this beginner course, participants must be at least 10 years old and in good health, have good swimming skills, and be willing to make a time commitment of eight to 10 hours.

No, a Veteran can enroll in the program by themselves, but we encourage registering with a buddy to help encourage participation in a group activity and out of self-isolation (if applicable).

Remember, a potential Dive Buddy can be another Veteran, civilian friend or relative who supports Veterans and is a certified SCUBA diver or wants to be your dive buddy and go through the certification process with you.

If you do not have someone who will be joining the Undersea Warriors with you, don’t worry, as we will always have a certified dive buddy for you.  No One Dives Alone.
