LifeWaters Vision Statement:
To inspire hope and contribute to health and well-being by providing a supportive environment for fellowship through scuba diving for paralyzed veterans, first responders, and civilians.

LifeWaters Mission Statement:
LifeWaters provides adaptive scuba diving training and camaraderie by bringing adventure and healing to Veterans, First Responders, and Civilians with disabilities.   Their passion for the sport, pushing beyond disability, is a story to tell America.

LifeWaters specializes in SCUBA diving training for disabled individuals (veterans, civilians, first responders). Any individual with a VA disability or civilian diagnosed with: Spinal Cord Injuries, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, Amputees, Multiple Sclerosis, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Spina Bifida, and Multiple Traumas and other disabilities may be involved in our scuba training program. The Scuba diving skills are adapted for each disabled diver.

We are a community partner with the Veterans Administration (VA) and the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA)

LifeWaters Service Statement:

LifeWaters Goal has always been to provide training and scuba opportunities while trying to decrease the cost of training and travel for people with disabilities. Life with a disability is expensive, no matter how great your insurance or VA coverage. LW understands that. We want to give people affordable opportunities to participate in LifeWaters’ experiences. LifeWaters isn’t just about diving. The social return on investment reaches far beyond one individual, going into the family and community of the adaptive diver by providing hope and strength for a better tomorrow. It is about giving people with disabilities a chance to expand the possibilities of their life, creating moments of pain-free living, and long- term camaraderie with others.
