What an awesome Veterans DSE! 🇺🇸🤿
We started in the pool, sharpened our skills, then headed out for two amazing dives!

Despite some rough conditions, our Veterans persevered and had an incredible day.
We saw eagle rays, nurse sharks, southern stingrays, goliath grouper, and so much more!
We’re so lucky to have these beautiful reefs in our backyard and honored to share them with our Veterans.

Maya has been building her scuba skills for years, and every dive is another opportunity to explore the underwater world she loves.
Our Discover Scuba Experiences, held in calm, pool-like ocean conditions, give children and adults living with disabilities who are unable to earn a full Open Water scuba certification the chance to safely experience the beauty and wonder of the ocean.
These experiences are about so much more than scuba diving—they build confidence, foster independence, create lifelong friendships, and remind us that the ocean is for everyone. 🌊💙
