Coping with PTSD or a traumatic combat injury is no easy feat

In the United States 22 Veterans commit suicide every day. That is a horrible number, considering more Veterans have committed suicide than have been Killed in Action in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

We are here to try and put not only a change to that number, but to stop it all together. Veterans can find an amazing amount of therapy just by venturing underwater. Those seeking adrenaline can also get their fill underwater. Scuba diving is a very incredible sport that can be done world wide, by anyone, with any “limitations” they may feel they have. We offer an entire program, in the Caribbean, in some of the most sought after dive conditions on the planet, to not only take Purple Heart recipients with PTSD or physical wounds scuba diving, but certify them so they can go Scuba all over the world!

Obviously there is a cost to this and to provide this amazing experience to as many Veterans as we can, we need your help! We are a 501(c)(3) organization that runs off of your donations. If you feel kind enough to share your love of Scuba diving with a wounded Veteran, please help us by donating.

Veterans from all NATO Countries

We don’t just offer this service to US Veterans. After all there were other countries providing troops for the fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. We offer this therapeutic experience to all wounded Veterans of NATO countries that have received the equivalent of a Purple Heart.

  What an experience. Had a great week in Florida with other veterans and the Dive Master Adam “Flash” Gordon is top notch. Lead the dives and always felt safe in and out of the water. Thank you to everyone involved to allow me to have this great opportunity. Thank you and Semper Fi!

  Greatest experience of my life. Nick and the organization where extremely warm and welcoming. I struggled going into the water and Nick was calm and supported me with patience and kindness. I wasn't pushed more then what I wanted and I am now apart of this family!

  Nick is an incredible human! He took time away from his normal duties to step in and personally instruct me through my open water certification in Roatan. He possesses a confident ease in his instruction which made my anxiety and fear disappear with each dive. I gained the confidence and knowledge I needed to safely enjoy my subsequent dives in the paradise of Roatan. He even invited me out to dinner with his family, and I got to listen and watch his wife sing and play the piano! You’ve got a friend in me for life, Nick. Love what you do and how you do it. I will continue to support Warfighter Scuba and pass on the good word for all you do for the wounded Veterans. Thank you for your service Nick.

  Nick runs a great nonprofit in Warfighter Scuba.  He is very knowledgeable about diving and ensures the safety of his divers through personalized education and training.  Have donated to his charity and participated in a dive trip, and would highly encourage others to do the same!

  Was a privilege to be able to go down and be a part of the program. One of the highlights of my life and I’m happy there is a program like this to help out veterans with PTSD or other related problems. All in all I met a great group of fellow veterans and can’t wait to go back fly down and dive with them some more.

  My girlfriend and I visisted Nick at Warfighter Scuba down in Roatan last month. It was beautiful to say the least. I have been certified since I was 12, however this visit has inspired me to continue my education within the sport of scuba diving.  My girlfriend had never been underwater with anything but a mask, up until we got down there. She was able to finish all of her SSI online courses prior to the trip. Nick was extremely patient with
my girlfriend, which came in very handy. SCUBA was a very big step for her, outside of her comfort zone. Once we were there, the diving began, starting with the hotel pool. She was certified in 3 days after a handfull of dives from the beach and boat. She passed her written tests with flying colors. We got in about 10 dives in while we were there, and they were all awesome, including a night dive. The hotel (Infinity Bay) was great. Very clean and the employees were awesome. We will be headed back again next year.

  I was lucky enough to Partake in the Warfighter Scuba program in May 2018. I had a phenomenal time. I went there with no scuba skills, lots of neck and back pain and left with 9 dives completed, my open water cert, full face mask and nitrox certs. Nick is a great guy and his program is awesome and I FEEL GREAT.

I highly highly recommend his program to anyone that can use it.

  Literally this was one of the best experiences that I have ever had diving. I have dealt with a lot of diving companies in the last 19 years and this was by far the best. Nick is extremely knowledgable about the area and has a great relationship with the best contacts, thus, giving you an unbelievable experience. They are in full support of veterans and giving back, and whats not to love about that too?! If you are in Roatan, you need to give Warfighter Scuba a visit, you will not be disappointed. You will leave with a lifetime of memories...and you'll probably be planning your return trip before your current trip has ended.

  I can not say enough good things about Nick Powers, his family, and Warfighter Scuba. I truly appreciate the kindness and the awesome experience of diving with Warfighter Scuba. Nick is an excellent instructor and really does a phenomenal job at ensuring you are comfortable with the equipment and the dive. It’s a great organization with a great purpose. I will recommend this program to any veterans I know. Thank you again, Nick. It was an amazing experience.
