Max’s Diving Worldwide (MDW) was founded by Max Leutermann, an active duty submarine officer, and avid dive instructor. We have been providing recreational, professional, and military dive training around the world since 2013. MDW was founded on two simple goals. First, to provide military servicemembers and civilian graduates of the Navy’s Diving and Salvage Training Center (“Dive School”) an opportunity to transfer their training into recreational and professional certifications that are recognized in the civilian world--without paying for-profit dive shops for redundant training. Second, to provide personalized dive training to disabled individuals in order to provide confidence, independence, self-esteem, and therapy through SCUBA diving, and related activities.

MDW is proudly associated with the following brands: Mud Dart Diving LLC, The Hawaiian Dive Company, TecDiveHawaii, and ProDiveHawaii all located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. These brands conduct civilian recreational, technical, professional, and military dive training.
