We’re off for our third HERO DIVER dive to Orlando Florida to dive the Disney World Epcot Center / Dive Quest. Our team of volunteers and disabled veterans will be supporting our veteran who was diagnosed with ALS by supporting/training him for his wish to scuba dive with sharks before the disease limits his ability. Thank you goes out to our supporters First Nation Group and LifeWaters to make this wish possible for Walter and his family. Big thank you goes out to our awesome LifeWaters Hero Dive Team.
