Army Veteran

​

Scuba diving has increased my mental health by helping me find an outlet that isn’t self-destructive and has been healing for both my body and mind. While diving, you need to be with a buddy. This has helped me to form lifelong friendships and bonds because you grow to trust these people with your life just as you would your fellow service members in the military. When you’re not in the water, you are still surrounded by community and developing deep connections with others that can relate to you and understand your internal struggle. It’s been difficult for me to open up to connections since getting back to the civilian world, but Hero Scuba has allowed me to find comfort and security in having a new support network.
