North Star Diving Inclusion Discount Program – In an effort to make the sport of diving more accessible to all, North Star Diving has received a grant from USA Diving. For any potential diver whose family is receiving government assistance (e.g. Medicaid, Free/Reduced school lunch programs, food stamps, Head Start, etc.) that can show documentation of such assistance, North Star Diving is offering an excellent opportunity to try the sport of diving. Divers will need to have a 2025 USA Diving Athlete Membership ($40 plus processing fees). If the diver will be 18 years old on December 31 of 2025, there are some additional steps. They will also need a background screening ($30) and to complete free online Safe Sport training. 2025 USA Diving membership will be available starting December 1, 2024, and it will be valid until December 31, 2025. Please note that you will be able to purchase a new or renew a 2025 USA Diving membership starting December 1, 2024 for it to be valid until December 31, 2025. Diver will be responsible for 10% of the program fees. The other 90% of their training fees will be waived and supported by the USA Diving Grant. This program is not eligible for any additional practice discounts.
