What we do:
Signature Dive Veterans (SDV) is a nonprofit organization that serves Veterans by giving them access to the underwater world of scuba diving with its therapeutic and rehabilitative qualities for physical and emotional health. We offer facilities to prepare and educate Veterans through certification and training, opening career opportunities, and an opportunity for adventure and socializing through dive excursions and travel at little to no cost to the Veteran.
How we do it:
Participation in scuba diving has a proven track record of helping Veterans build confidence, enrich a sense of community and camaraderie, and easing the symptoms commonly associated with traumatic injuries and PTSD. Through our network of Veterans, allies, and committed volunteers, we train participants to experience the weightlessness of scuba diving with and without the assistance of an adaptive scuba buddy.
If you are a Veteran or know a Veteran that would be interested in this program, please email us at signturediveveterans@gmail.com
Unfortunately, the program faces challenges in today’s uncertain landscape, including:
1. Funding of the organization, to allow expansion of the existing travel, training and education programs.
2. The Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers of SDV continue to work toward expanding our network of program participants, donors, and volunteers.
The Veteran will be required to purchase their hood, gloves, booties and mouthpieces. Upon completion of the class they will be reimbursed by Signature Dive Veterans or in store credit at Signature Scuba.
