Instructor interested in Adaptive SCUBA

Post by Layner »

Does anyone know of a Course Director in the area that teaches Adaptive SCUBA? I'm very interested in working with divers with disabilities and helping them to explore the underwater world. Just not sure if there is anyone around that has a focus on this yet.

Thanks in advance.

You might want to contact the HSA ... http://www.hsascuba.com/

I know Loogpla Cowden is an active HSA instructor ... not sure where she trained for it ...

Val Lyttle (zen diver) teaches some HSA classes. She might have info on course directors.

Wow, I didn't even know what HSA was. Very nice organization from the looks of it. Thanks for asking the question and thanks everyone for all the answers!
