Divers with disabilities?

[Louie]

Hello everyone,

Does anybody know of any organisations working in the area of divers with disabilities (besides the big certifying agencies such as PADI and NAUI) in USA or Canada?

Or if you know of any in the disability sports field that have encorporated diving, that would be really helpful

Thanking you all in advance

Louie

therre is actually a forum section here at SB that deals with just that
Divers with Disabilities
But Scuba freak is right PM or post on that board and Matt will be able to point you in the right direction.
I am a disable diver and MAtt was the one who pointed me to this board he is a remarkable guy and a great resouce when it comes to stuff like that
