Hi All<\/p>\n
I am a proud member of an organization called “The Dive Pirates Foundation”. Dive Pirates is non-profit organization dedicated to bringing scuba diving to persons with disabilities. What began in 2003 as a social club for divers has now been transformed into a non-profit foundation that teaches, equips and takes disabled persons on Caribbean scuba diving trips. The program is open to all medically qualified disable persons, Dive Pirates has chosen to focus on disabled military veterans that have sustained injuries on the battlefield. These men and women have sustained injuries and had lost part of their youth in combat; we hope to restore a sense of adventure, community and hope for these wounded warriors. <\/p>\n
This year I am taking part in the training of several adaptive divers and will be joining them in the Cayman Islands during the annual Dive Pirates trip this June. I am asking you to join the “Deep Down Challenge”, to support our adaptive divers. I will join other divers on a deep dive down to Davy Jones Locker, a photograph with the gauge showing the actual depth in feet will be taken for verification of the Diver’s final depth.<\/p>\n
Please make a pledge and help support our disabled military veterans who will be experiencing the adventure of scuba diving. <\/p>\n
The Deep Dive Challenge is now linked to the Dive Pirates website by clicking the treasure chest! http:\/\/www.divepirates.org<\/p>\n
Thank you for your support,<\/p>\n
Joe <\/p>\n
