Man what a cool event this is!
I watched as instructors and divemasters worked together to figure out how to help people with a huge range of disabilities, enjoy the water safely. It was so cool to get to share the underwater world with people who would ordinarily be turned away by a dive shop. AD Barnes park has some nifty equipment that can help anyone and everyone get in and out safely, and I saw many people who will be back to swim for sure, and who are now able to see that they too could scuba dive.
In short, I've never seen that many grins in a single day before. Unfortunately, life is in the way of us attending the next few events but I hope to find another set to go help at soon. It's easy to forget how life changing scuba diving can be, and helping today really brought the magic of it back.
