Our Mission

Scuba diving is our passion; sharing it is our mission. Our purpose is to build confidence, independence, freedom, and self-esteem in adolescents, adults, and veterans with disabilities through scuba diving and adaptive diving programs.

Our Story

Scuba Access For Everyone was founded when I learned how Scuba diving can positively impact people. While training and diving, I met two people who showed me the impact Scuba can have. A young man on the Autism spectrum changed his personal feeling from I can’t do anything to I can do great things. I also dove with a veteran who shared that Scuba diving helped him cope with PSTD. Scuba is his happy, calm place. This got me thinking: who else can scuba help? I wondered if I was crazy but quickly learned that my diving friends knew people scuba could help, and they jumped in to help. We continue to grow and make a difference in people’s lives. ~Dale Kleier
