Description
The Advanced Dive Training Grants (for Certified Divers): Recreational Diving, offered by the Women Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF), are designed to empower women divers to pursue advanced recreational diving education. These grants specifically support women who are already certified at the open water diver level (or equivalent) and wish to further their skills and achieve higher diving certifications through internationally recognized agencies. The program aims to foster personal growth and skill advancement in recreational diving, not for professional or commercial purposes. Each grant is sponsored by Bonnie Toth Advertising and Design, Ocean Wishes, and donations to WDHOF.
