Description
The Advanced Dive Training Grants for Certified Divers – Technical, administered by the Women Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF), are designed to assist women divers who wish to progress from recreational to technical diving. The grant provides financial support for advanced training in technical diving disciplines—such as mixed gas, rebreather, or cave diving—and the purchase of required technical dive equipment. Recipients must use the funds to pursue training that leads to Technical Diving International (TDI) certification, supporting women in acquiring specialized skills and credentials necessary for technical diving.
