What Safety S.T.O.P. Is

Our Veteran’s assistance program is our primary mission.

As a combat Veteran, I have experienced the benefits of scuba diving as a means to finding my inner peace. On a dive trip several years ago, I spent four days on a boat with a small group. In that group, three of us were combat Veterans. My return to diving had already helped me, but having the opportunity to spend that time with other Veterans planted the seeds for Deeper Self Scuba (DSS) and Safety S.T.O.P.

Whether you are an experienced diver or getting wet for the first time, the training, teamwork, sense of accomplishment, and camaraderie from diving can have long-term, lasting positive effects.

Explore the ocean and your deeper self.
