Testimonials from our Participants

Warrior Scuba Project brings veterans from local communities out to different locations and introduces them to scuba. What the veterans in turn receive is not only insight into a new recreation, but the direct effects from veteran peer support. Here is what some veterans wrote after filling out a survey after they finished diving in!

Very relaxed, safe and friendly environment. 

(O, Veliz, US Army)

Getting out and interacting with other vets was a extremely refreshing. It was very relaxing to spend the time in the pool as well!!! 

(N, Saraceno, US Army)

My experience with Warrior Scuba Project was excellent. It was accessible, informative, and very friendly. I look forward to future participation.

(K, Cozzie, US Coast Guard)

(K, Suarez, US Army)

It was an amazing experience and would love to do this again.

(M, Perea, US Navy)

I wouldn't want to work for any other veterans organization. Since separation and starting my transition, the Warrior Scuba Project has been there to not only help me grow as a leader, but help me grow my professional future. I want to thank Todd and everyone else on the Warrior Scuba Project team in helping me become who I am today. 

(J, Plazyk, US Army, Warrior Scuba Project Marketing Manager/ Public Affairs Officer)

Getting involved with the Warrior Scuba Project

Warrior Scuba Project provides an opportunity for veterans and their family to explore the world of scuba diving while re-creating the camaraderie found in most military units. We've created an atmosphere of Veteran Peer Support. Warrior Scuba Project strives to change the perception of "helpless veteran" by engaging former service members in service missions within their communities. Our mission supporting Warrior Divers and their families, both in and out of the water, addresses key issues veterans face as they transition from an active and dynamic military environment to a more "relaxed" civilian existence. We need to fill the ranks and make a difference in our communities. We need to identify, train, and employ veterans and families with special skills; from instructors to food service specialists and more than 40 careers in between in order to maximize our community impact and mission success.

Achieving mission success this mission begins with your participation. Warrior Scuba Project provides the resources, training, team and mission. Warriors provide the manpower and ability to serve their community and contribute to the team success. Although training is free, it comes at a cost: community service hours. If you are willing to providing your time and are capable of making a difference then we need you on the team.
