WAVES Project - ....help a wounded warrior reach the water!

We are a non-profit organization, the WAVES Program http://www.wavesproject.org is FREE for the combat wounded veteran and a partner, The Waves Project helps wounded American veterans to participate in a challenging and exciting sport design to facilitate the rehabilitation process of their injuries as well as rehabilitating the entire family unit. W.A.V.E.S. has been established to provide an opportunity for Combat Wounded American Veterans and their families to experience scuba diving. Scuba diving can help the wounded warrior by promoting independence and self-confidence in many ways.

The wounded veteran will benefit from becoming an underwater equal to able bodied divers and discover new personal goals and opportunities. They will also enjoy the peace and relaxation achieved by the weightlessness that our silent world provides. Through reduced external influences, scuba diving allows them to concentrate on less painful recovery and rehabilitation.
