Navy SEAL Chief Warrant
Officer (Ret.) Don Mann developed the SAC in 1998 when he was contacted by
the Navy Recruiting Command to develop a program that could help attract
qualified individuals into the Navy and into the SEAL teams.
He designed the sessions to be structured like Basic Underwater Demolition
SEAL (BUD/S) training, which is conducted in Coronado, California. Over the
past four years, hundreds of ambitious men and women have competed in the
SEAL Adventure Challenge®. Several have gone on to BUD/S training, while
others have taken the lessons they learned back to the corporate world or to
the classroom.
