In an effort to include more veterans in its mission to preserve and restore, NAUI is teaming up with Force Blue to encourage U.S. military veterans, who would like to become “Force Blue Assistant Scientific Divers”, to undergo SCUBA training through a network of Force Blue “Outposts” across the country.
OUR MISSION
NAUI PARTNERS WITH FORCE BLUE
WHO IS FORCE BLUE?
Force Blue, a 501c3 nonprofit, made up entirely of military-training combat divers drawn exclusively from the Special Operations ranks, will utilize the Force Blue Outpost Program to give those veterans, who may not have been divers during their military careers, the change to deploy alongside Force Blue Scientific Divers on future marine conservation Missions.
“NAUI CONTINUES TO MOVE FORWARD, FORGING RELATIONSHIPS DESIGNED TO MAKE AN IMPACT ON COMMUNITIES AND ENVIRONMENT”

VP of Sales and Marketing, NAUI
BECOMING A FORCE BLUE ASSISTANT SCIENTIFIC DIVER
To become a Force Blue Assistant Scientific Diver, candidates must first posses at least a Rescue Diver certification from an accredited dive training organization. For many through, this prerequisite training can be cost prohibitive. Now through the Force Blue Outpost Program, veterans can use their educational benefits to pay for any/all of their dive training – including their Force Blue Assistant Scientific Diver certification – at an approved NAUI VA Testing Center.
