Divers must have Advanced Open Water Diver certification or comparable experience.
In addition some projects will require training in underwater tools and techniques, which
you can obtain by attending the "Underwater Tools and Techniques Class" offered in June every year.

Please, If you sign up for a project and find you are unable to attend for whatever reason,
we would appreciate it if you would notify the project leader
as soon as possible so they can plan accordingly.
