I want to get my Diving Badge but I'm not sure if I have to re class or anything.

There are several dive schools. Combat dive is a school that falls under special operations. You'd have to be on a Dive team to be eligible to go. Engineer diver is part of the 12D course. There are a handful of places in the Army where they need divers and will send anyone. When I worked at Florida phase Ranger School, we had slots for divers and would send anyone who could pass pre scuba.
Short answer - you probably won't go unless you become a 12D or join an SF dive team.

MOS 0326 - Reconnaissance Man or if you just want the bubble without the chute Reconnaissance Man, Combatant Diver Qualified, 0324. However from my understanding candidates for this MOS must first hold MOS 0321, Reconnaissance Marine and they must complete the Basic Airborne Course at USAIS at Ft. Benning in Georgia (0324?) and for the bubble badge they must complete the MCCDC-approved Combatant Diver qualification course (0325?) I think in Panama City, FL.

Army schools are based on need, as others have stated, not to provide the opportunity to collect badges.

I was a 94B/92G Food Services and got my drivers badge. I didn’t have to go to drivers school for It but that was some years ago. If it hasn’t changed after you receive your Military License someone in the motor pool should be tracking every time you dispatch a vehicle and reporting it to company master driver and after so many hours without a vehicle involved incident they should put you in for it but again this was during my time in
