Background

About Tamara Brown

Commercial diving is the driving passion of my life. My parents originally founded Divers Academy International (DAI), and since 1982, DAI has been my “home base” as well. I helped to develop DAI into the premier commercial diving training school that it is, and have served as its Director since. My passion for commercial diving extends into the industry as a whole. I am a regulatory specialist in both vocational education and diving education and safety. My work in this area has included: • Serving as president of the Association of Commercial Diving Educators for multiple terms. • Helping to write and accredit the commercial diving training standard through ANSI. • Acting as the secretant of the commercial dive training standard for the past 8 years through ANSI. Please verify that “secretant” is correct. • Working closely with the Association of Diving Contractors on their safety and education committees. • Being inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame in • Supporting regulatory and vocational education for the Association of Private Sector Colleges and Universities (APSCU). •Serving as a regulatory management specialist on the accrediting team of the Accrediting Commission for Career Schools and Colleges. Ultimately, I am a career builder and a dream maker. There are so many opportunities in commercial diving and underwater welding – all it takes is education. Through DAI, I help provide that education so people can take advantage of the opportunities that the future holds for them.
