National University Polytechnic Institute

History

National University Polytechnic Institute (NUPI) was established in 1967 as the Commercial Diving Center. In 1981 it was purchased by Oceaneering International and renamed College of Oceaneering. Then, in 2001, National University purchased the college, reamed it National University Polytechnic Institute, and moved the school to San Diego, California. The Kearny Mesa campus is centrally located in San Diego and is equipped with state of the art classrooms, laboratories, and a 44,000 gallon dive tank. To prepare students, we conduct most of the dive training off piers on Coronado Bay, in a harbor on the Embarcadero, and from the dive vessel at sea.
