Providing healing opportunities to veterans and first responders through scuba diving in a relaxed environment
22 Down Below is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing scuba diving certifications, dive adventures and scuba diving vacations for past and present military veterans, first responders and their families.
A study conducted by the US Department of Veterans Affairs concluded that approximately 22 veterans a day succumb to suicide. (Kemp & Bossarte, 2012)
22 Down Below’s goal is to foster a healing environment to veterans and first responders that will promote scuba diving as an outlet to improve mental health, encourage confidence in the aquatic setting and reassert a sense of hope in the future.
