Training and Safety Officer - Helping 2 Overcome Program

Never one to leave a challenge unfinished, Michael Turner continually pushes the limits of his skills and knowledge. As both a NAUI Open Water and PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, he’s passionate about sharing the underwater world with others while ensuring the highest standards of safety and training. Beyond diving, Michael is also a certified skydiving coach, a licensed drone pilot, and currently pursuing his PhD. He aspires to become a Cave and Technical Diving Instructor within the next few years.
 

A 12-year U.S. Army veteran, Michael served as a Sniper Instructor and Senior Operations Manager, bringing the same precision, discipline, and leadership from his military service into every aspect of his training. One of his favorite parts of working with Helping 2 Overcome is the opportunity to connect with fellow Veterans, First Responders, and their families—helping them find purpose, confidence, and community through shared adventure.
