"Since graduating, everything has changed."
This career excites me every day and gives me a sense of pride in doing work that few people can do.
Because of this career, I’ve been able to buy a house, own a truck, get married, start a family, and earn a six-figure income doing work I genuinely love. I’m not stuck behind a desk, and no two days are the same. I work with my hands, solve problems in challenging environments, and take pride in knowing I’ve earned everything through skill and hard work.
— Kevin Shrag, DIT Class 112-14
"Definitely would do it all over again."
Going to dive school at DIT has allowed me to do things and meet people I would’ve never met otherwise. Definitely would do it all over again.

"The class you are in will definitely become your new family."
Going to DIT was the best choice I have made after getting out of the military. The brother hood from my the military experience almost all carried over to the atmosphere at DIT. The class you are in will definitely become your new family. The staff and instructors care so much about the students and make sure we graduate knowing the basics to make it out in the diving industry. I have also met some life long friends attending DIT.
