Property Appraiser’s Circle of Heroes Dive Trip

June 2024

On the Saturday before Memorial Day, a group led by Property Appraiser Mike Twitty embarked on an underwater journey to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. The memorable scuba dive trip proved to be a unique and heartfelt tribute that left participants moved and inspired.

Led by experienced dive instructors, the expedition took the divers to honor our fallen veterans by visiting the Circle of Heroes Veterans’ Memorial, the world’s only underwater veterans’ memorial. As the group swam among vibrant coral reefs and schools of tropical fish, they paused periodically to hold a solemn moment of silence, reflecting on the courage and sacrifice of those who served our nation.

This dive trip is taken every year and is expected to continue growing, welcoming more divers and spectators who wish to participate in this unique and meaningful tribute.
