The application process started with a self-evaluation of the prerequisites. Course is open to people (18+) from any countries. Optional skills were taken in consideration to create a balanced classroom. Candidates might be contacted by the organizers and asked to provide more information about skills or to attend an interview (in person or using a remote audio-video communication tool).

The selection process started after two weeks from the registration opening and it continued till the official registration closure in order to create progressively a class of maximum 20 Divers. Applicants selected before the official end of registration were asked to pay a deposit (20% of the total due fee – according to the profile). In case of missing deposit (deadline is one week after the request) the candidate lose the priority in the selection queue.

In case a selected candidate renounces to participate, a new Diver is selected. The deposit is not refunded in case of waiver communicated after the closure of registration.
