BECOME AN ADAPTIVE DIVER
GET CERTIFIED TO BE AN ADAPTIVE DIVER
We humans are weightless underwater. For most able-bodied divers it feels like flying. For those with physical disabilities, it feels like freedom.
That’s why we developed the Denver Adaptive Divers program – to provide those for whom gravity is a punishing limitation with the opportunity to escape the confines of their bodies.
Denver Adaptive Divers uses the curriculum developed by Scuba Schools International (SSI) to teach disabled divers to function to their maximum ability, regardless of injury or limitation. Adaptive divers learn all the same skills as those learned by able-bodied divers, though some skills may need to be performed with help from their adaptive buddy. SSI uses a tiered rating system to indicate how much qualified outside help is required by the adaptive diver student.
