Become A Scuba Diver
Adaptive Divers
Who Can Be A Diver
Most people with cognitive or physical impairments can become certified divers. Together with your instructor you will learn the skills you can and find creative solutions for challenging areas. This is where the dive buddy teams come in, taking you diving in the tropics or the Pacific Northwest waters.
Diving offers benefits from connecting with nature to zero gravity moments.
How to become a diver
Training Structure includes: PADI or NAUI knowledge of basic dive skills, Diveheart manual and eLearn for understanding of adaptive diver roles, pool sessions to learn the skills and open water dives to put it all together. All done with your instructor and dive buddies.
Open Water can be completed in the Northwest or on a S.A.F.E. trip to a tropical location.
Call or email S.A.F.E. to get a full understanding of the training requirements.

“When I'm scuba diving there is no gravity so I can stretch out my arms and legs. It almost feels like you’re flying, which is amazing! Pain dissipates because you don't have that gravity.”
