On Sunday, May 31st from 5-8 p.m. at the Downtown YMCA in Lincoln, Nebraska, Husker Divers is holding a Try Scuba event for adaptive divers! Our trained, caring staff will take individuals with physical disabilities into the pool on scuba. Participants will get to experience the weightlessness and freedom of being underwater with scuba equipment. We can safely accommodate a wide range of physical disabilities, including quadriplegia, paraplegia, amputation and blindness, among others.
Husker Divers' goal with our Adaptive Scuba Program is to offer physically challenged individuals opportunities to dive and travel in the mainstream scuba diving world. We are a chapter of Dive Pirates, a national, non-profit organization which works to equip and train disabled divers.
Husker Divers will provide all the equipment for participants in the May 31st Try Scuba (participants should wear a swimsuit and bring a towel and dry clothes for afterwards). Pre-registration is required as a medical form must be filled out, and a doctor's signature will be required in some cases for participation. The cost is $20 per person, and all proceeds will go to the Husker Divers Adaptive Assistance fund, which is used for equipping, training, and providing dive travel opportunities for adaptive divers.
If you would like more information about the May 31st event or about adaptive diving in general, please contact Joe Tyler at Husker Divers at 402-420-6338 or at huskerdivers@prodigy.net.
