Florida Commercial Diving Institute (FCDI), one of the nation’s leading commercial diving schools, is proud to announce that it is now officially accepting VA students. This milestone marks a significant step in expanding opportunities for veterans to pursue high-demand careers in commercial diving, underwater welding, salvage, offshore construction, and marine industries.
A New Mission for Veterans
Transitioning from military to civilian life can be challenging, and many veterans are searching for careers that offer both purpose and adventure. Commercial diving provides exactly that — combining discipline, teamwork, and technical skill with exciting and well-paying career opportunities worldwide.
At FCDI, veterans will find a training environment that mirrors many of the qualities they already excel in: structure, resilience, and the ability to perform under pressure. Instructors, many with extensive field and military experience, provide hands-on training that equips students for real-world diving operations from day one.
Comprehensive Training with Real-World Applications
Located in Hudson, Florida, FCDI offers one of the most immersive and realistic training environments in the industry. Students train in:
- Underwater Welding & Burning
- Unrestricted Surface Supplied Diver (USSD) program
- Rigging & Salvage Operations
- Hyperbaric Chamber Operations
- Emergency Response & Diver Medic Training
The facility also includes a 260-foot natural sinkhole and an onsite offshore platform, giving students practical experience in conditions that closely resemble offshore work.
Commitment to Veterans
By accepting VA students, FCDI is proud to support service members in their transition to civilian careers. Veterans bring unmatched discipline and work ethic to the commercial diving industry, and FCDI is committed to providing them with the skills, certifications, and connections to succeed in this high-demand field.
