Adaptive Dive Buddies at Mayan Princess & Turquoise Bay!

Dale, Elizabeth and Debbie went to Roatan Honduras to certify 7 dive masters to become Diveheart Adaptive Dive Buddies.

Mayan Divers located in the West Bay area sent 4 of their dive masters to be trained. The dive shop is on site at the Mayan Princes Beach and Dive Resort. Turquoise Bay Divers located on the east end of the island sent 3 of their dive masters to be trained. The dive shop is on site at Turquoise Bay Resort.

As with all training we started in the classroom going over the information needed to be a good dive buddy. A big part of the experience is empathy training. This includes walking as a blind person.

Practicing new skills in confined water, like full face mask training. The week was finished with the open water dives where they put their new skills into action.

Even though these pros have thousands of dives they each were challenged and had to push themselves during the week.

They fell like family now and we are excited to dive with them in September.
