Honoring Our Hero: Michael Casamassa

At Hernando Beach Diving with Heroes, we proudly introduce a new initiative where you can directly support the journey of individual veterans as they find healing and purpose through scuba diving.

Meet Michael Casamassa

Michael is a United States veteran who has bravely served our country and now faces the ongoing battles that many veterans do — the invisible wounds of service. We’re working to help Michael discover the therapeutic power of scuba diving by guiding him through his Open Water Certification and equipping him with all the necessary gear.

This is where you come in.

Your donation helps cover the specific costs of Michael’s dive training and gear — every dollar goes directly toward his journey beneath the surface.
