SCUBA diving has been recognized as a therapeutic activity for veterans and individuals with disabilities, offering numerous physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Here are some of the key advantages:1. Physical Benefits:Improved Cardiovascular Health: SCUBA diving is an aerobic activity that helps improve cardiovascular fitness, leading to better heart health.Enhanced Muscle Strength and Flexibility: Moving underwater and carrying diving gear can help strengthen muscles and increase flexibility.Low-Impact Exercise: The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints, making it a suitable activity for individuals with physical disabilities.2. Mental and Emotional Benefits:Stress Reduction: Being immersed in water and observing marine life can be calming and help reduce stress and anxiety levels.Sense of Freedom: Underwater, individuals with physical disabilities experience freedom of movement not always possible on land.Boosted Self-Esteem: Mastering a new skill and achieving underwater exploration can enhance self-confidence and self-esteem.Sense of Accomplishment: Overcoming challenges during diving can instill a sense of accomplishment and empowerment.Connection with Nature: Interacting with marine life and experiencing the underwater world fosters a sense of wonder and connection with nature.3. Social Benefits:Camaraderie: Participating in group diving sessions creates opportunities for camaraderie and peer support among veterans and individuals with disabilities.Community Engagement: Involvement in SCUBA diving clubs or organizations can lead to a sense of belonging to a supportive community.Reduced Isolation: Diving can help combat feelings of isolation.4. Sensory Benefits:Sensory Stimulation: SCUBA diving engages multiple senses, such as sight, touch, and hearing, offering a unique sensory experience.5. Adaptive Opportunities:Equipment and Training: Specialized SCUBA diving equipment and training programs are available for individuals with disabilities, ensuring accessibility and safety.Inclusion: SCUBA diving allows individuals with disabilities to participate in an activity alongside their able-bodied peers, promoting inclusivity and equality.6. Cognitive Benefits:Improved Focus and Concentration: The need to focus on dive planning, safety, and underwater navigation can improve cognitive functions.Problem-Solving Skills: Overcoming challenges underwater can enhance problem-solving skills and mental agility.It's essential to note that SCUBA diving should be carried out under the guidance of trained professionals who have experience in adaptive diving techniques and working with individuals with disabilities. Each person's specific needs and capabilities should be taken into consideration to ensure a safe and rewarding experience. Join us and make SCUBA Diving a part of your life and adventures!

Take an active role in helping to preserve the national park in our own backyard. Thanks to National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA), we have the opportunity to actively make a difference in preserving a rarely visited historic site. Come with us and help us clean up the site. Boat transportation from Biscayne National Park's Dante Fascell Visitor Center is provided to site as well as lunch for the volunteers. There is no dock on site, so volunteers will be wading to shore to begin cleanup.
There is limited space on the boat. We need a minimum of 8 volunteers, but can only take a maximum of 10. Please reserve your spot now (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lancelot-jones-project-tickets-66769181419) and help support the national park in our own backyard.
About Lancelot Jones:
Lancelot Jones was born and raised in what is now Biscayne National Park. His father, Israel Lafayette Jones, was one of the earliest settlers on Porgy Key. The Jones family grew pineapples in the early 1900’s on Porgy and Totten Keys. They became one of the country’s largest key lime producers. Rather than develop the land in 1970 it was sold to the federal government to become part of the park. Lancelot Jones continued to live on his family’s homestead until 1992 when Hurricane Andrew destroyed his residence. The Jones Family Historic District, including the remains of the former home and farm of Israel Lafayette Jones and his family, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

It was a great day for diving!

For those registered on the Maritime Heritage Trail Dive this Saturday (tomorrow), just a quick update.
The dive is still scheduled to happen, although the water will NOT be flat. Expecting 2 to 3 foot seas. If you are not comfortable diving in or riding on a boat in those conditions, that is your call. Just let us know if you will not be attending.
Red Algae Update: Again, the boat dive will happen. The last update (you can see this here: http://www.myfwc.com/research/redtide/statewide/) shows that the area we are diving is not yet affected by the Red Algae, picture here.

Unfortunately, we did not receive the VA Grant for Adaptive Sports this year. That means we're in desperate need of sponsors for our veterans to make use of SCUBA Diving as a recreational therapy. We will try again next year, but our military veterans need you. This year-long program is only $3,000 per veteran. If you can, or you know of someone who can, sponsor a veteran; please help. Being disconnected from service is a mental hardship affecting many veterans. This helps reintegrate them into civilian society and removes many of the environmental pressures. The Discover SCUBA activities are great, but they are a one day activity. What the Sponsor-a-Veteran program does is get them involved all year with a therapeutic activity that does not involve hospitals are treatment centers. What is more is that it sets them up to continue the activity after their year program is done.
SCUBA Diving not only is great therapy for physical ailments and injuries, it is an ideal therapy for emotional and mental concerns like Depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Please help our veterans cope with the reintegration into civilian life with the help of healing ocean waters and nature. Please help by sponsoring, or sharing with your network of family and friends the need for this support. Do you know a veteran that you would like to sponsor specifically? We do allow directed donations, so you can earmark your donation to go to a specific veteran. The only limitation is that this program is conducted in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area. We will be expanding to other areas down the road, but right now, it is location specific.
Donate Here. OR Sponsor the Program Here. -

VETERANS, GET THE HELP YOU HAVE EARNED!
-
So, after many long days, we have submitted a grant application to the Veterans Administration. We will know by September if we are able to obtain funding. If so, it could mean a comprehensive SCUBA Recreational Therapy Program for veterans with disabilities. Since SCUBA is a great treatment for many impairments, like PTSD and Spinal Cord Injuries, etc. we are really looking forward to making these programs more available. Power of positive thinking! Help us make it happen.
In the meantime, we would love to hear your testimonials on SCUBA Diving as a therapeutic program. Share them on our facebook page (www.Facebook.com/AdaptiveScubaPrograms) or any of our other Social Media pages. Also, check us out on Guidestar and share your stories there. These stories go a long way in securing funding to keep the program going. -
You should have received your April newsletter with the recaps and some upcoming events. April was a full month! We got a number of individuals with disabilities utilizing SCUBA diving as a therapeutic program. It is a great therapy as the activity provides for the increase in the production of serotonin delivered to the spine. This results in increased mobility, a lessening in pain, and elevating mood. It is really an all-in-one therapy.
We got some great new volunteers trained and ready to go, and solidified partnerships. We got some great momentum going! Check it out.
If you have not subscribed to our email updates, you can see our latest newsletter here: https://conta.cc/2Fp5uwV.
-
We would really like to thank Mission United for partnering with us to submit a funding request to the Veterans Administration. With luck, this will provide several scholarships for Dive Therapy Programs for disabled veterans.
You can help us obtain this funding! We are in need of letters recounting veterans personal experiences and how SCUBA Diving has helped them cope, lessened pain, etc. How has it affected you? If you are a spouse of a veteran and SCUBA Diving has helped your husband or wife, please share this too. We need your personal stories to help explain why this is such a great therapy program.
If you have a story to share, please email Serena Barghahn at serena@adaptivescubaprograms.org. We thank you for your time in helping us expand this program. Remember, Mission United has many resources to help veterans. If you are struggling with anything, contact them. There is likely help available for you. -
Congratulations to our newest volunteers that have just completed the Buddy Disability Training Certification Course. Your humor and dedication is inspiring, and we look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events. A huge thank you to the scholarship sponsors from this session.
