Mission Statement
Mission Support SCUBA (MSS) provides eligible U.S. military veterans in Central Texas with SCUBA diving training and certification; serviceable equipment; and SCUBA diving opportunities that benefit the veterans and the community in which they live. Many veteran organizations support the worthy cause of providing disabled veterans with opportunities to which they may not otherwise have access. MSS offers ALL veterans the opportunity to engage with a network of peers who share similar backgrounds in a structured environment where camaraderie and purpose flourish.
About This Cause
Mission Support SCUBA (MSS) uses SCUBA diving and the requisite training to holistically address the physical and mental well-being of U.S. military veterans. The physical and mental benefits of SCUBA diving are only the start. By acting as a central point of contact, veterans have access to an entire network of divers with different ties to the local community – and a worldwide sport. MSS provides community engagement and service through our network of dive professionals, researchers, benefactors, hobbyists, and local businesses. After the SCUBA diver certification, veterans are trained as members of the AquaCorps. The AquaCorps assists the Meadows Center for Water and the Environment in the management and habitat conservation of Spring Lake, one of the longest continually inhabited locations in North America (over 14,000 years!). Spring Lake is also home to 8 threatened or endangered species, an archaeological dig site, the sacred land of Native American tribes from Central Texas area, and the primary location for countless research projects. Veterans are also given the opportunity to join a local volunteer underwater search and recovery team in South Hays County, Texas. Additional environmental stewardship, public service, and research opportunities are continually sought in which the veteran can participate, engage, and make a difference.
