Diving with people with special needs: a real possibility

Diving equalizes everyone underwater. Anyone who finds walking difficult may find in the sea a freedom that cannot be described.

Diving for people with movement disabilities

Water cancels gravity, and this allows people with movement disabilities much greater freedom of movement than is available to them on land.

Modifications to equipment

• A modified mask strap for anyone with facial differences
• A one-handed buoyancy-vest control system
• Modified fins for anyone with a leg disability

Diving for people who are hard of hearing or nonverbal

It is excellent for this group, as the signal communication system works naturally with them, and some of them may even be more efficient at communicating underwater.

Diving as therapy

Dive-therapy programs are used to help treat some cases of trauma and anxiety disorders, because the sea puts a person back in proportion with their nature.

The sea does not distinguish between anyone. Anyone who wants to reach it finds the path.
