About the Program

We are proud to continue the legacy of Combat Wounded Veteran Challenge (CWVC), whose life-changing SCUBA program now lives on under the NPLB Outdoors banner. Together, we remain committed to delivering meaningful, adaptive diving experiences grounded in camaraderie, strength, and recovery.

Whether you’re a returning CWVC participant or new to our SCUBA adventures, we’re excited to welcome you into the NPLB Outdoors family. Our mission remains the same — to serve those directly impacted by combat through outdoor activities that build confidence, community, and lifelong memories.
