The Underwater Centre in Fort William, Scotland, was awarded an additional 130,000 as part of a
major initiative to encourage Scottish-based individuals to begin a career in commercial diving. This comes three months after The Underwater Centre was awarded £360,000 to train 42 Scottish-based individuals. The new funding will allow an additional 15 trainees. The news comes at a time when the UK is facing an aging population of commercial divers.
