Volunteer

We are always looking for help with our adaptive diver and fundraising programs.

If you’re already a certified diver, one of the best ways to get involved is to become an Adaptive Dive Buddy.

If you’re a certified dive instructor, we’d love to talk with you about becoming an Adaptive Dive Instructor.

If you’re not a diver, we would still love your help! Get involved with us by helping on the pool deck during our Try Scuba events, or helping out during one of our fundraisers.

If you’re experienced with non-profit operation, web design, marketing, or video production, we have opportunities to apply your skills.

Please contact us to learn more about how you can help.

Become an Adaptive Dive Buddy

Our adaptive divers require varying degrees of assistance in and out of the water every time they scuba dive. Whether you are a caretaker to an adaptive diver and would like to learn to dive and assist your diver or are already a certified scuba diver and want to be an adaptive dive buddy, we can help! You can become an independently certified buddy or you can get certified alongside your adaptive diver.

Buddy Completion Requirements

  • Open Water Diver Certification
  • Stress & Rescue Certification
  • CPR, First Aid, & Oxygen Administration Certification
  • Classified Dive Buddy Certification: Additional 6 hours of classroom and pool training with one of our certified Adaptive Dive Instructors

During your certification process you will learn techniques for assisting an adaptive diver and safety aspects in the diving environment. Once you are a Certified Dive Buddy, you will have the chance to work directly with an Instructor and a new or current adaptive diver.
