Program Schedule

FCDI runs new commercial diving classes almost every month, so you don’t have to wait half a year to get started. Below are our upcoming start dates for both the National Surface Supplied Diver (NSSD) program and the Unrestricted Surface Supplied Diver (USSD) program through 2027-2028. Our Diver Medic Technician (DMT) and Underwater Burning Specialist (UBS) courses each begin the Monday following USSD graduation and run for one week.

Review this schedule alongside our Admissions page so you know exactly what’s required before your chosen start date — and if you’re planning around VA education benefits, our Veterans team can help you time your enrollment accordingly.

Schedules are updated as new dates are added — download the current PDF below, or contact our admissions office at (352) 209-1234 for the most current availability.
