What an excellent organization. I have been actively progressing with my diving certifications, but since I am a disabled veteran who is living on a fixed income my progression was severely limited. However, with an outstanding organization like the TRP, it helps disabled veterans like me to accomplish our goals for diving. My only hope that I can continue the progression to dive professional and give back by teaching others through the TRP.

Diving has given me a new direction in life. It has also gotten me out of self-isolation and into a community of people with similar interests and experiences. But mainly diving with this group of people I’ve met some of my best friends, people I can truly rely on.

Through diving, I found a way to silence the noise of daily life. Having a label of PTSD, diving has provided a place to be free from it for a while. To heal, knowing that in this environment is a place exists in works in harmony and I re-emerged with peace and refocused mindset. Though Tactical Reintegration Project I found a team of fellow brothers that want to provide and share this form of healing. For the 1st time, it doesn’t require me to be underwater to experience this, because I feel it through this team.
