ABOUT WAVES PROJECT
Wounded American Veterans Experience SCUBA
WAVES PROJECT was established to help our wounded veterans experience the freedom and challenge of SCUBA Diving. If you or a loved one has suffered from a major, life-changing injury, scuba diving therapy may help. Importantly, talk with your doctor and therapists about your interest to see if this type of therapy is right for you.
The unique properties of this aquatic environment enhances interventions that are ideal for wounded veterans as they rehabilitate from various injuries received in service to our country such as amputations, spinal cord injuries, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injuries, along with a host of other injuries received in battle. Scuba diving takes the advantages of the properties of water, including weightless and limited audio input, allowing Combat wounded veteran’s to exercise in a therapeutic environment. Underwater, there is the soothing sound of breathing through your regulators as your bubbles float effortlessly to the surface. Movements are slower, gravity is sapped of it strength and muscles move more freely. The disabled diver underwater is now an equal to his or her able body dive buddy!
Our group trips are led by experienced divers and travelers to ensure a smooth experience in some of the world’s best diving locations. Our annual trip to CocoView Resort in Roatan Honduras is the most popular by far. The March 2027 trip will offer some limited training for veterans to increase their skills and gain new certifications. Space is limited, if interested please email info@wavesproject.com.
