Disability eased by diving

31 January 2009

We have been very interested and totally thrilled to see for ourselves that diving can really help with some disabilities. Christine has 2 fractured vertebrae but has just completed a 10 dive pack, and has reported improved mobility out of the water, as well as having lots of fun in the water. Chris is not our first disabled diver: we regularly welcome Wendy who also arrives in a wheelchair and improves so much that she sometimes leaves on foot. Admittedly we're not fully equipped to deal with every kind of disability but with a bit of help from the other divers and a fold up chair on the boat we get by!
