BENEFITS OF ADAPTIVE SCUBA DIVING OR CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES

BY JIM ELLIOTT

As a parent, you always want the best for your child. You want them to be happy, healthy, and successful in life. You encourage them to try new things, learn new skills, and explore the world around them. But what if your child has a disability? How can you help them experience the same joy and wonder other children have when they explore the world?

One answer may be adaptive scuba diving. This unique activity provides children and adults with disabilities, the opportunity to experience the incredible sensation of weightlessness and the feel

ing of freedom that comes with being underwater. It also has therapeutic benefits, such as improving their physical and mental health, boosting their confidence, and increasing their social connections.
