I’m a former U.S. Army combat medic, and like a lot of veterans, I deal with PTSD. Diving became my reset button. The breathing, the discipline, the quiet underwater — it slows everything down and brings me back to center.
I found Trident Warriors through a friend at the VFW who told me I needed to reach out. I did. Wayne Miller and Trident Warriors funded my entire Open Water and Advanced Open Water on Koh Tao starting 01 July 2025. That wasn’t just a course — it was a lifeline.
I didn’t waste the opportunity. I kept pushing. Today I’m a Divemaster, certified in sidemount and advanced wreck diving.
What Trident Warriors gave me wasn’t just training — it was direction. As a former medic, serving others is still who I am. My goal now is to become an instructor and help other veterans find the same focus, confidence, and peace I found underwater.
This program works. I’m living proof.
