Adaptive Scuba Diving

When I ask people why they want to learn to scuba dive, one of the most common answers is to experience what it's like to be weightless. Other than astronauts in space, divers are the only other group of people fortunate enough to experience weightlessness.  People less fortunate than most who are confined to wheelchairs are no different.  Scuba diving is a great activity which allows them to leave the confines of gravity in a wheelchair. Contrary to popular belief, scuba diving is available to everyone, including those with physical challenges. Adventure Scuba offers scuba training for anyone with the desire, even if you are confined to a wheelchair. We are North Texas' largest Handicapped Scuba Association Training Center. We certify folks with a wide variety of conditions, from wounded warriors missing limbs to paraplegics and even quadraplegics. We not only train adaptive divers, but we also train able bodied divers to become buddies for those with special conditions so they may actively dive after certification. Working with RISE Adventures, scuba programs are available all summer in the DFW area. As a RISE participant, the cost of the program is FREE, you don't have to pay a thing.
