Would you like to learn to dive, build new skills, or become a dive industry professional?

Now you can, using GI Bill® benefits!

We now have 18 approved certifications and professional-level licenses, that the VA will pay for, if you have the GI Bill. These programs cover a range of courses, including beginner scuba diving education, technical and public safety diving, freediving, instructor courses, and more. Keep reading to see the full list of programs and learn how you can take advantage of this great opportunity.

So how does it work?

Below you will find the various packages put together by SDI/TDI and the VA. As you can see, as long as you still have funds in your GI Bill, they will pay for everything from beginner to tech to instructor and beyond! 

All we do is choose the package(s) you will do first, and once done they have provided us with pre-filled out forms that we will submit along with your Certification and payment reciept, once the courses are done from each package. 

So far, it seems that the VA is reimbursing our students within 2 weeks, but we can not guarantee the speed they work at. Anyways, the important thing is that as long as you check your Gi Bill status and have the funds, they WILL reimburse these courses. 

We take care of ALMOST everything once you get started…. The only thing we can not do is talk to your VA rep, and find ou tif you actually do have your Gi Bill still. That is up to you, but once you give us the go-ahead, we will sort you out! 

Email us so that we can make a plan, especially if you want to do some of the more advanced courses, and we can let you know the prerequisites and help organize a training schedule.
