22nd Annual Dive Pirates Ball

Dive Pirates Ball 2026

📍 Vic & Anthony’s Steakhouse | Houston, TX

📅 February 21, 2026

Join us for an unforgettable evening at the 22nd Annual Dive Pirates Ball, where we gather to celebrate resilience, strength, and the power of possibility.

This year’s theme, Bolstering Resilience, honors the extraordinary journeys of our adaptive divers—individuals rebuilding and redefining life after injury or diagnosis. Through our adaptive scuba program, they prove that adventure, confidence, and freedom are still within reach.

The evening will feature a cocktail reception, dinner, silent and live auctions, inspiring stories from our recipients, and interactive fundraising experiences—all in support of expanding access to adaptive scuba diving.

At the Dive Pirates Foundation, we believe resilience grows stronger in community. For 22 years, we’ve welcomed injured military members, first responders, law enforcement, and others with mobility disabilities into a supportive crew that dives, trains, and explores together. With the help of adaptive equipment, dedicated dive buddies, and specialized training, our recipients experience the underwater world—often for the first time—and rediscover confidence, independence, and joy.

Your participation goes far beyond one night. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation directly supports:

• Adaptive scuba training and equipment
• Pairing recipients with ongoing dive buddies
• Life-changing dive trips that foster connection and empowerment

Most importantly, your support reminds our pirates that they are never alone—and that their lives are still filled with opportunity, purpose, and adventure.

Whether you attend in person, sponsor a table, or donate from afar, you are helping transform lives and open doors to a world many thought they’d never see again.

We invite you to be part of this powerful night—and the next chapter of these incredible stories.
