About the company
Life Waters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, that specializes in providing adaptive sports programs with a therapeutic focus on scuba diving experiences for disabled veterans and individuals with mobility impairments. The organization has been registered with the federal government since April 2015 and operates as a tax-exempt corporate entity dedicated to improving the quality of life and rehabilitation opportunities for disabled service members and veterans. Through federal grant awards, Life Waters delivers comprehensive adaptive sports programming that expands access to recreational and therapeutic activities for underserved populations within the veteran and disabled military community.
Life Waters has received multiple federal grant awards from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under the VA Grants for Adaptive Sports Programs for Disabled Veterans and Disabled Members of the Armed Forces (CFDA 64.034) program, with awards dating back to at least October 2022. The organization's most recent prime grant awards total $502,864.86 (September 2025) and $562,490.25 (September 2024), providing funding to plan, develop, manage, and implement adaptive scuba diving programs across multiple U.S. states. These grants support the delivery of free SCUBA Diving International (SDI) training and certification to disabled veterans and service members, enabling participants to progress from snorkeling to open water diving certification. Life Waters has partnered with the Christopher Reeve Foundation as a sub-grant recipient to expand program reach, with the collaboration supporting comprehensive diving training for approximately 85 people living with paralysis across new states including New Mexico, Georgia, California, Kansas, and the Florida Panhandle. The organization's grant-funded work emphasizes expanding access to women and women veterans living with paralysis, positioning adaptive scuba diving as both a recreational opportunity and a therapeutic rehabilitative tool for the disabled veteran population.
