I have an Uncle-in-law who was blind at birth. He is Okinawan and as we were sitting at the table in Okinawa and he was listening to me talk about diving to family members. He started to talk about his diving experience. I did not say anything but I was thinking, "how can a man enjoy diving where he cannot see the beauty beneath the water?" What about buddy awareness? Depth? Safety stops? Depth gauge? Vis? etc.
I got humble as he continued his talk about a sense of weightlessness, freedom, a feeling of achievement, over coming the boundaries placed on him by society, feeling of water rushing over his skin, sounds underwater. etc.
I took a lot from this discussion and I think that it has helped me to decided to become a volunteer with DIVEHEART. I have yet to do work with DIVEHEART but waiting for my chance to give back to a sport that has given me so much.
