Our Founder

Glen Masker (Cap’n Glen) has been in and around water his whole life. His father was a veteran of both the Korean and Vietnam wars. During his military service, his father served in the Navy, Coast Guard and Army. He retired after four tours in Vietnam. Glen saw firsthand the damage this produced. After his military service, his father’s journey to wholeness took over ten years. His PTSD (it didn’t have a name then, but that’s what we call it now) caused nightmares, manic episodes and isolation.

Cap’n Glen joined the US Coast Guard during the Vietnam War and served his country for six years. For the past 30 years, he has been involved in teaching recreational scuba diving. Having over 5,000 dives, the underwater experience showed him a path to relaxation. This proved to be the catalyst for Glen to start the Water Therapy/Scubility program. Beginning in 2018, he started working with veterans using this underwater experience to help them get re-acclimated to society.

The Staff at Water Therapy trains extensively to help individuals damaged in their service. This includes both mental (PTSD) and physical damage (amputees, paraplegics, quadriplegics, and degenerative diseases such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, autism, and many others).

While he still teaches recreational scuba, Cap’n Glen’s mission is to reach out to first responders – veterans, firefighters, law enforcement, and medical personnel – suffering from trauma experienced in their service. Water Therapy helps them get out of the house and on the path of both mental and physical healing.
