Intensity Level – High
Want to learn to scuba dive and get certified?!
This event is for 4 Purple Hearts that are new to diving! Don’t hesitate! Diving is beneficial for those managing TBI’s & PTSD.
In partnership with Warfighter Scuba, we will be learning to dive in Gilboa Quarry in Ottawa, Ohio! Sunken boats, planes, and buses offer a great course for learning. You will also learn why diving has health benefits along with safety measures and how to find other dives for the future. How better to learn than with other Purple Hearts who have experienced similar challenges!?
