It's a secondary MOS you will only get if in a recon MOS/billet. There are two different dive courses. There is the Marine Corps Combat Dive School which will give you the privilege of wearing the gold 'scuba bubble' badge. That school requires you to have the 0321 MOS. (Graduate of the Basic Reconnaissance Course aka BRC or Amphibious Reconnaissance School ARS) There are several other prerequisites for Combat Dive School. And then there is the Navy SCUBA school. That gives you the silver badge. The requirements are probably the same.

Some guys in my unit did Navy SCUBA, I think as a reenlistment incentive, however they had 2621/0321/9962 MOSs already. One guy did Combat Dive. Looking at Marine Corps Order 3500.20B 5 Oct 2004, I would think all dive and Airborne courses are no longer offered as a reenlistment incentives.
