Veteran? Use your GI Bill® to become a Dive Instructor

Veteran’s Day Special

This Veterans Day, Waikiki Dive Center is offering a special treat for certified veterans: dive for free! If you need gear, it’s just $65. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the thrill of scuba diving while connecting with fellow veterans.

For those looking to transition into a rewarding career in the scuba industry, we provide military-friendly programs designed to maximize your benefits and support your journey into civilian life. Our flexible and affordable education options cater to Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard members, all approved under the GI Bill®️.

At Waikiki Dive Center, you can earn PADI certifications as a Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Scuba Instructor, or Master Scuba Diver Trainer. Led by veterans who understand your journey, our supportive community is here to help you succeed. With over 45 years of experience and a flawless safety record, we prioritize your training in a safe environment.

Additionally, we will be having a snorkeling training cruise on October 27 at 2 PM aboard the Maka Koa, featuring a group from BOSS (Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers) from both Schofield and Shafter. It’s a great chance to meet fellow service members and enhance your skills!

Finally, we are also excited to announce a photography competition for certified scuba divers! Winner will receive a free dive with us, all gear included at the time and date of their choosing.
