Dive Pirates is a national non-profit organization that exists to teach physically disabled people to dive. Did you know that Husker Divers is a chapter of Dive Pirates? That's right, Husker Divers has an adaptive scuba program, and we've partnered with Dive Pirates to work with our area's disabled community and get them in the water on scuba. Joe Tyler, owner of Husker Divers, is a certified adaptive scuba instructor, and several of the Husker Divers staff have been trained as assistants.
Dive Pirates recently held their annual fundraiser, the Pirate's Ball, in Houston, Texas, and raised over $50,000! You can read an article on the event by clicking here.
As you might imagine, it takes a lot of time, energy, and funding to equip and train a physically disabled diver. Whether they're a quadriplegic, an amputee, blind, or whatever the nature of their disability, all enjoy the freedom and weightlessness of being underwater. You can help! Call, e-mail, or stop by the dive shop and talk to us about adaptive divers currently in our program. If you'd like to help support these intrepid individuals, both good quality dive equipment and funds are needed and appreciated. If you visit the Dive Pirates website, you can easily donate to the Husker Divers chapter by clicking on the Donate button. You can even score some sweet pirate booty when you give!
