Go pro with CDAWI and NASE
The program combines instructor development with real-world experience. Students assist with open-water training and gain exposure to charter-vessel operations, guiding, customer interaction and the practical operation of an onsite dive store.
CDAWI uses competency-based assessment: students progress after demonstrating that they can perform each task confidently, safely and responsibly.
