The Veterans Retreat is a specialized scuba diving retreat founded and completely funded by YouTuber Patty Mayo. We are a passion project, not a commercial operation. Located on the ocean in Cudjoe Florida, we offer structured training with performance requirements that reflect our guests service experience. The retreat consists of 2 identical homes, one the primary residence of owner Patty Mayo and the 2nd dedicated to you, our guest. You'll find we've created luxury accommodations & atmosphere akin to a personal 5-star resort, because the best of the USA deserves nothing but the best. Dive certifications are conducted entirely on-site and Patty keeps the pool at 91 (even in the summer). Come for the camaraderie, the challenge, and personal growth. You won't be disappointed.

Your support helps us provide travel assistance, boat fuel, accommodations and much more for our guests
