Dive4Vets Foundation

Experience the therapeutic power of scuba diving as a wounded veteran. Dive4Vets covers all costs for your training and certification in South Florida's warm waters.

The Dive4Vets Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing therapeutic scuba training and certification for disabled veterans. Founded by dive professionals who recognized the healing potential of diving, the foundation underwrites all costs so that wounded service members can access these benefits without financial burden. Training takes place in the warm, clear waters of South Florida, where participants learn to adapt their physical limitations through specialized equipment such as fins modified for prosthetic limbs and cylinders fitted with motorized propellers. The curriculum includes Open Water Diver certification, refresher training for those returning after a hiatus or injury, and continuing education courses ranging from underwater photography to wreck exploration. Beyond local instruction, the foundation organizes dive trips to destinations like Bimini and Grand Bahama, allowing veterans to apply their skills in tropical environments. The program is specifically designed for combat-affected veterans with VA disabilities, including those suffering from PTSD or spinal cord injuries.
