Dear

First a huge and hearty thank you to all of you who donated AIR to our hard hat divers for the MIA Recovery Mission that will occur later this year. With your donations, we are able to buy fuel to run air to our divers for 27 hours -- or nearly 5 days of work.

Now about the Option 2, the Decompression Chamber ...

After a hard hat diver spends 90 minutes working at the MIA Recovery site 100' underwater, they need to spend 75 minutes in a decompression chamber. This allows the diver's body to safely expel accumulated nitrogen and avoid what is commonly called "the bends' or decompression sickness.

This is an essential part of our Commitment to Safety for team members and partners as we bring our MIAs home.

You can contribute to the safety of our team by donating 75 minutes in the decompression chamber for $100.

Donate Time in Decompression Chamber

This Memorial Day, we are excited about our upcoming missions and the impact they will have families who have waited so long for answers and the Nation.

There are so many ways to honor our MIAs and fallen service members this Memorial Day weekend. Thank you for choosing to honor them with us.

As always, thank you for your support of Project Recover.

PS What do divers do in the decompression chamber for 75 minutes? They breathe oxygen from a mask for a period of time, rehydrate, and rest after full body exertion!
