Para wants to take Stress and Rescue

[BrokenT10]

I am a paraplegic with SSI AOW certification. I would like to advance to the next level but need to take Stress and Rescue. Does anyone know of a modified course, an instructor willing to give the course or know someone who has taken this course after being disabled.

Hey Doc... I think you mean http://www.iahd.org -- your link goes to the "Idaho Association of Highway Districts"

According to their website and HSA's website, they dont do any further than AOW.

I'm not sure on SSI, but with PADI, it's a matter of completing the performance requirements -- not how you do them.

Are you capable of getting an unconscious diver out of the water? If so, what's stopping you from just taking the normal class?

If not, I'd suggest enrolling in the class, but being aware that your physical limitations may prevent you from completing the certification requirements -- it can't hurt to learn everything else in the class, however!

You can also try www.hsascuba.com - there is a link to find instructors in your area.

Good luck!

After a long search, I have found someone willing to give me the class.
