Patriots for Disabled Divers (PFDD) is a charity for - and inspired by - disabled Veterans. We are a group of divers dedicated to bringing the joy and therapeutic benefits of scuba to Veterans with disabilities. To date, we’ve helped over 1200 men and women experience freedom in the underwater world. Scuba diving provides a unique environment with many therapeutic effects that can’t be replicated on land. For one, the weightlessness of being underwater can relieve physical pain. Also, completing a scuba certification can help a disabled person feel more in control and experience a sense of achievement. If I can breathe underwater, what else is possible? Our divers also tell us the mental benefits of scuba and being in the silent world underwater, gives them a chance to focus and just breathe. To provide a strong social circle, we also surround our disabled Veterans with a support system of dive buddies, in a dive family.

* The raffle prizes are donated tickets from a season ticket member and has no association with the Washington Commanders.
