Call (480) 881-4013

Your child's ESA funds can go further than curriculum and tutoring. Dive Arizona is an approved Arizona Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) vendor, which means eligible families can use their ClassWallet funds to get their kids scuba certified right here in Queen Creek.

Scuba diving isn't just an activity. It's hands-on science, physical education, and water safety wrapped into one of the most memorable experiences a kid can have.

What Is the Arizona ESA Program?

Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account (ESA) program provides K–12 students with state education funds deposited directly into a ClassWallet account. Families use those funds for approved educational expenses, including instructional programs like scuba certification.

Every K–12 student in Arizona is eligible, regardless of family income or academic background. Funds range from approximately $7,000–$10,000 per student annually and roll over year to year if unused.

If your family is already enrolled in the ESA program, you can use your ClassWallet funds at Dive Arizona today.

Why Scuba Certification Is an Educational Investment

Scuba diving teaches skills that go well beyond the pool:

  • Marine biology & oceanography — aquatic ecosystems, dive planning, pressure and buoyancy
  • Physical education — breath control, cardiovascular fitness, full-body coordination
  • Water safety — rescue awareness, emergency procedures, situational judgment
  • Confidence & independence — a tangible, lifelong skill and a real sense of accomplishment
