Giving members the tools and skills necessary to navigate the under-water world safely and sustainably.

Adult Diver Sponsorship Program

Our core values are safety, sustainability, and selectivity. Depth Finders are encouraged to seek additional dive training.

We also understand that spearfishing and free diving are not cheap sports. New divers are often faced with large financial barriers. Our goal is to provide NCDF club members with the tools and information necessary to meet these core values.

Thus, it’s with excitement that we’re introducing the NCDF Adult Diver Safety Sponsorship Program! The purpose of this program is to give members the technique and skills they need to navigate the under-water world safely.

Each year we will select one applicant to receive a fully paid-for free-diving course from our partners at Just Get Wet in San Diego. In this course the applicant will learn, among other skills, the physics and physiology of freediving; buddy and rescue procedures; and avoiding potential trauma. If the applicant has already received a Wave 1 or FII Level 1 cert. then we will provide a JGW gift card for the same value as a Wave 1 class, to only be spent on training (class, line diving, pool trainings, private training, training materials)

The applicant must meet the below requirements

· Fully complete and submit the online application prior to the day applicant is selected (August club meeting)

· Must be a paying club member at time of application AND at time applicant is selected

· 18 years old and older

· Physically capable of completing the class

· Meet the requirements outlined by Just Get Wet

· Have transportation to and from the classroom and to the two open water sessions
