"Disabled Veterans" - Want to Dive? Atlanta Area

[The Kraken]

If there are any "disabled" veterans in the Atlanta area that want to learn to dive, let me know.

I have no experience with this, but I'm willing to learn along with ya.

You are not "disabled", it's just that the abilities you had have now been modified.

Nae guts, nae glorie!!!

I have a couple of things. First and foremost, a thank you for being willing to offer this to folks. Secondly, it depends on the severity of the disability. I'm a disabled vet but most people would look at me and assume that I'm perfectly fine. It's not the case but because I have all of my limbs and no visible scars with clothes on that I'm perfect. I'm already a certified diver but if you ever want someone to go out with you to dive, I'm new so I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to have a dive buddy. I live in Cumming, Georgia. I'm still collecting gear. I have two tanks but I have to get them hydro tested and I don't have a dive computer, all of my gear was given to me so I have to take it into a dive shop and get it looked over but I have just about everything except the computer and the wetsuit.

Kudos. I volunteer with the Monterey Bay Veterans working on their Lift to Freedom Project and it is easily the most gratifying project of my life. I hope you find the same satisfaction.

Have you tried contacting the HSA (Handicapped Scuba Association) to find local divers that need able-bodied buddies and where you can get training?
