US military Vets ... FYI

[TCDiver1]

PADI has obtained approval from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for qualified veterans, active military personnel and some dependents to be reimbursed the US $440 Instructor Examination (IE) fee. This reimbursement is available under the VA Licensing and Certification Tests Benefit program.

More info can be found through this link:

Not a bad deal if your thinking about instructor.

Bummer. I got into diving too late. My ten years was up last year.

Not that I'm anywhere near ready for my IDC anyway.

Hope this change does some of you some good!

That is what I am planning on doing.

I got an email from PADI before summer and that's when I decided to go for my instructor.
I figure I am going to be diving in FL a lot some day and I might as well be able to do for free or get paid to do it.
I enjoy working with lots of different people and I love to teach. I do that for a part of my living.

Thanks for the link because I had lost it!!

NAUI has a similar approval with the dept. of Veteran Affairs.
