All of the proceeds from the challenge will go to support the Deep Six program which funds scuba diving certification for up to six disabled veterans, at no cost to the vets. These vets can be either physically or emotionally disabled – post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, amputations, disabling injuries, etc. they must apply by Aug. 30.
Support letters are requested and important to the determination of who gets the scholarships. Hydrotherapy, either scuba or snorkeling, is a proven blessing to disabled vets bringing tranquility, anxiety relief and even pain relief.
