SubSafe
One Hot Summer Day Offshore Changed Everything.
Adam was boating 40 miles off the coast of Ponce Inlet, Florida when he pulled a ruined sub out of the cooler for the last time. Too many times in his life he had chosen to not eat at all rather than take a single bite of a soggy bread. The cooler is no place for a vulnerable sub. He decided subs need protection. They need to be kept safe. SubSafe was born.
