Description
The Scientific Advanced Dive Training Grants, offered by the Women Divers Hall of Fame (WDHOF), provide financial support to certified divers seeking advanced dive training specifically for scientific diving applications. The grants aim to enhance the skills, qualifications, and certification level of divers who wish to contribute to scientific research and underwater exploration. Recipients must use the grant to pursue training that culminates in a certification from an internationally recognized diver-training agency. Two grants are awarded each year: one is open to all genders, and the other is reserved for women.
