Commercial Diving Academy Takes Over Operation of 40 Fathom Grotto
In January 2007, Commercial Diving Academy (CDA) of Jacksonville, Florida, assumed operation of 40 Fathom Grotto. CDA will continue to make the Grotto readily available to instructors, guides and divers as in the past, plus use 40 Fathom Grotto as a deep-water training site for its commercial and recreational diving instructor students. In the months ahead, visitors to 40 Fathom Grotto will see some significant changes as all of the Grotto’s facilities, including the dive store, rental inventory, bath houses, fill station and docks are updated and modernized.
Commercial Diving Academy is among the world’s leading trainers of commercial divers, offering a comprehensive 16-week air/mixed-gas course leading to entry-level Diver/Tender certification by the Association of Diving Contractors International (ADCI). Additional courses are available in Mobile Crane Operation, Able Bodied Seaman, Underwater Welding and Burning, Diving Medical Technician (DMT) and more.
