Making Good TV Show featuring VOA!
Last spring, producers from BYUTV came to Miami to film a segment about VOA for their Making Good show. The series is aimed and kids, to help them get excited about giving back. The filming was a blast, and we were super excited to see the segment air on BYUTV!

Veteran opportunities provided by VOA include:
Sailing
Our Sailing activities keep growing. Between our “Learn to Sail” classes, Sunset Sails and our latest sailing activity “Saturday Racing Clinic”, there is always something going on with VOA!
SCUBA Diving
Veterans Ocean Adventures runs an Adaptive SCUBA training program, while also sponsoring special events such as boat dives, weekend trips and more.
Paddling
Thanks to local partnerships, VOA offers kayaking and SUP events which include training, eco tours of Biscayne Bay and the Middle Keys, and monthly full-moon paddles.
Our Vision
Create an opportunity for disabled veterans to experience open ocean sailing, offshore cruising and scuba diving through collaboration with community partners including the Miami VA and Miami Vet Center. Once participants have completed the Introduction to Water Sports program and express a desire to advance to blue water sailing, Veterans Ocean Adventures provides an introduction to cruising in the Florida Keys and the Bahamas. Select participants may continue on to join a leg of an ongoing world circumnavigation.
Veterans Ocean Adventures, Inc was founded in 2009 as a non-profit tax-exempt 501(C)(3) national organization chartered in the state of Florida.
