Summary: Supports women divers seeking advanced recreational dive training and certification beyond the open-water level for personal skill development.
This grant, offered by the Women Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF), provides financial support to women divers aiming to advance their recreational diving skills beyond the open-water certification level. The grant is intended for non-professional, personal diving pursuits and seeks to foster growth, confidence, and continued education within the recreational diving community. Recipients are expected to use the funds to pursue advanced certifications through internationally recognized diver-training agencies, with the ultimate goal of enhancing their skills for personal enjoyment and safety rather than for commercial, technical, or instructional purposes.
