Student Catalog

Before you apply, it’s worth reading through FCDI’s official 2026-2027 student catalog — the most complete source of information on our commercial diving programs, covering everything from tuition and fees to admissions requirements, attendance and grading policies, and graduation standards.

The catalog covers each of our programs in detail — the National Surface Supplied Diver (NSSD) program, the Unrestricted Surface Supplied Diver (USSD) program, the IMCA Diver Medic Technician (DMT) program, and the Underwater Burning Specialist (UBS) course — so you can compare paths and figure out which certification track fits your career goals. It also outlines general and program-specific admissions requirements, financing and VA benefit information, campus facilities, career services and placement rates, and student conduct policies.
