Adaptive Scuba Experience
Ever since you can remember, you’ve wanted to try scuba diving, right?
For over 40 years A-1 Scuba & Travel Aquatics Center has been providing adaptive diving and complementary Try Scuba Diving experiences for people with disabilities. We’ve proudly teamed up with Craig Hospital, PVA, VA, and other adaptive support groups in our community. A-1 diving professionals and volunteers have attended a specialized Adaptive Dive Buddy and Instructor training, taught by A-1 trainers, qualifying them to teach and assist during our various divers with disabilities programs.
We have successfully introduced scuba diving to hundreds of individuals (veterans and non-veterans) with disabilities including Spinal Cord Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Blindness, Traumatic Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Amputee, PTSD, and others. Those experiencing this amazing adaptive adventure will quickly discover that WATER IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER!
Our Adaptive Try Scuba Experience at A-1 is FREE for those who qualify
