What does my sponsorship actually fund?
Your sponsorship supports the NCDT Relief Fund, which provides immediate financial assistance to Clearance Divers and their families in hardship, and the NCDT Transition and Resilience Fund, which funds coaching, education scholarships, and the new 2026 CD-to-CD Mentoring Program.
