Gitmo Got It!

This is a GREAT story that I came across while watching some early morning news (before my day's dive on the Regina!)... very thankful for having seen it!

This organization MUST be represented! "S.U.D.S." is Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba. This group allows for disabled veterans to dive the untouched, U.S. Military protected coral reefs of Guantanamo, Cuba. In fact, everyday divers can reportedly take charters from the Bahamas and Mexico to meet up with military divemasters off the coast near Gitmo to experience what is claimed to be the most untouched, natural coral reefs in the world.


Military vets come from all over the world to experience the freedom and serenity that diving can bring to not just most everyday diver, but especially to the disabled. Here a military diver tries out a prosthetic leg with a modified fin that allows him to make the same dive that you or I take so much for granted.

If you have a chance, peruse the SUDS website and learn more about their program!
