Survivor Divers is a 501c3 non-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area.  We believe that scuba diving can be a powerful tool in the healing process and something our Veterans can use to grow. The silent environment, the focused breathing, the time spent learning new skills with friends in the sunshine -  it's the perfect way to get better.  

"My goal when starting this project was to create a community for Veterans that were carrying trauma from their service, to give them a place where they could learn new skills, meet new people, grow, & heal. Diving on its own can be incredibly therapeutic for certain people, but I believe the power of this whole thing lies in the connections we can restore to the lives of our divers. Leaving the service and entering back into civilian life must be a huge change, but add an injury or trauma to that and the potential for isolation and depression is high. Survivor Divers exists to give our Vets a new pathway in their recovery"
