Divers with Disabilities Try Scuba Experience

 

Ever since you can remember, you’ve wanted to try scuba diving, right?

Maybe you watched a cool movie on television that had scuba divers in it or maybe one of your friends just returned from a trip to the "Islands" and dove with dolphin, turtles and other neat critters.

Craig Hospital and A-1 Scuba & Travel Aquatics Center have created a FREE try scuba experience specifically for the disabled. Our instructors have specialized training from the Handicapped Scuba Association and are experienced in helping you discover the wonder of the underwater world. We have successfully introduced scuba diving to many individuals with disabilities to include Spinal cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Blindness, Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Amputee and others.

 

Getting Started Is Easy!

 

 

 

Prerequisites

• Be at least 10 years old
• Complete a Discover Scuba Diving medical waiver and liability release. (PDF) Any "Yes" responses on the medical questionnaire will require your physician sign a PADI Medical Statement form (PDF) stating that you are fit to dive.
