[rickydazla]

Hi all

Just to let you know that I've just posted some information on our local scubaboard forum regarding a buddy and instructor training class that we are hosting here at Bruno's Dive Shop in Clinton Township, Michigan. Jim Elliot from Diveheart will be conducting Handicapped Dive Training for Instructors & Buddies. The training is open to Assistant Instructors & Divemasters ...AND..... Interested Openwater, Advanced & Rescue divers can also attend for buddy certification.

Cheers


Rick

Good morning. I am new to the site as of tonight. I was told of different programs for disabled individuals. I was injured in the line of duty 2 yrs ago. I miss diving so much. the disability i have yet is in my arm and hand. I would really appreciate being able to talk to someone that knows more about how to be able to handle diving again with disabilities. I am a recreational and water rescue diver. Thank you for your help

You may have to reconfigure gear a little and take your diving back a step or two to start but go for it.. I used to work on a large dive boat with an instructor who had only one arm and people would go the whole day without even realising, he was amazing.

Give Jim a call and good luck.
