Mission

The mission of Patriots For Disabled Divers (PFDD) is to provide to the physical, psycholocigal and social benefits of scuba diving to individuals living with cognitive and/or physical disabilities and their family members.

990-EZ for the year ended December 31, 2024

Program accomplishments

  • Scuba Diving Training. In 2024 189 divers contacted PFDD concerning training. 80 divers were approved and 78 began their training. Of the 80 approved divers 59 were PADI Open Water, 19 were PADI advanced open water, 2 were PADI Rescue and 2 were PADI reactivates. Scuba training for a disabled veteran is one that brings joy, adventure, camaraderie and therapy as a life long sport. For those that suffer PTSD, the breathing, pressure and neutral buoyancy provide a calming and peaceful environment. For those with physical disabilities, the neutral buoyancy provides relief from the affects of gravity and relieves pain and mobility issues. Becoming a member of a "dive family" gives the Veteran a social group they can rely on much like they relied on their military unit when they were on active duty or deployed. Being a part of a close knit group, being active, having joy in your life are all besic measures to maintaining mental health and help in suicide prevention.
    Expenses $35,581
  • Georgia Aquarium Trips. In 2024 there were 2 trips. A total of 16 divers and 15 family members enjoyed the generous program sponsored by the GA Aquariums Veterans Immersion Program. PFDD provides airfare, all food and shuttle to and from the airport. The GA Aquarium provides dive equipment, entry, one night hotel and parking. The benefit of these dive trips is to incentivise the PFDD alumni they can make a difference in this world by seeking adventure and doing things that can save the ocean. It reinforces the training and gives the diver an exciting adventure to hook them on the "dive life'.
    Expenses $5,680
