My Nonprofit Reviews

Where can I start? The Aquanauts Adaptive Aquatics organization has truly benefited me personally and many many more others who have had their lives changed forever by the experience of “Aqua therapy “. Whether it’s spending time in the pool with snorkeling or scuba gear on or in the ocean practicing the tools and techniques that they have been taught, to the amazing volunteers that are genuinely passionate and dedicated to helping others with disabilities learn and grow into being full fledged divers. I joined the Marine Corps and had to be medically discharged shortly afterwards. I always wanted to dive and eventually get certified as a scuba diver. Finding this organization from another former Marine was a godsend! I’m very pleased and proud to say not only am I now a certified diver but also Rescue Diver certified as well as HSA ( Handicap Scuba Association) certified and all of my training has been with and through Aquanauts Adaptive Aquatics !! And I also volunteer my time, training and whatever else I can do to get back to this wonderful and much needed organization that truly gives back to the community ! The organization also uses our volunteers to help by promoting safe scuba diving as well as doing reef and beach cleanups. Working closely with other Adaptive organizations is also something that is stressed and done. I could go on and on about the great things that this organization does, but I’ll simply say that seeing firsthand and supporting the great people and organization is something that I highly recommend. At Aquanauts Adaptive Aquatics, lives are being changed for the better and by supporting our organization YOU are also helping change someone’s life. Thank you!

I was first introduced to the Aquanauts Adaptive Aquatics program through getting dive certification through the Aquanauts Scuba Academy and my awesome instructor Mr Worth O’Brien. I was in the Marine Corp and he invited me out on one of the Aquanauts Adaptive dives where I was able to see firsthand the amazing job he and the program does for military and civilian people who have some form of a disability. Everyone is treated with the utmost respect and care. The volunteers love and enjoy helping others enjoy the beauty and experience of scuba diving. It is truly amazing how very therapeutic diving with his organization can be! I love it so much, I am now a volunteer myself!! Finding Aquanauts Adaptive Aquatics has definitely changed my life and my outlook on helping and supporting others who could all benefit and enjoy the wonderful experience of diving with likeminded individuals all coming together with a great sense and love of the sport of diving. I encourage all walks of life whether you’re young , old, healthy or have a disability.. it’s never to late or a bad idea to join the Aquanauts Adaptive Aquatics family!!
Me and my brothers and sisters will always be there for you! Join us and let’s go diving !
