DIVING FOR PEOPLE WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AT SUB SINAI
IAHD Recreational Scuba Courses
 For many who are disabled, diving is one of the very few activities during which they can forget their physical limitations.
Can you imagine what a fantastic experience it is to be able to move freely, weightless and without restrictions? Disabled participants describe it as an important stimulus in their rehabilitation, their mental and physical condition, and they very much appreciate the valuable social interaction with other people.
