We at Diversity In Aquatics are excited to announce the creation of our Scuba Scholarship! The scholarship was started by our Scuba Council Chair, Anesti Vega, who was graciously awarded US$5000 by Seiko for being named 2021 Sea Hero of the Year by Scuba Diving Magazine. Through continued funding, the scholarship will fund the cost of open water scuba training and certification of 2 recipients per year to be certified and recognized at our annual convention. Applications are not open at this time, but you can fill out the form below and will be notified when applications open or if you’re interested in contributing to the scholarship fund!


We are so thankful to our partners below in helping make this scholarship happen! To Scuba Diving Magazine for selecting Anesti Vega as 2021 Sea Hero of the Year, to Seiko for sponsoring the award, and to NAUI for supplying the Premier eLearning and certification access for our scholarship recipients!
