Handicapped Scuba Association at DEMA

[Pasley]

Come by booth 4442 and say hello if you are at DEMA.

In my opinion the show was great. Not only did several dive shops express an interest in becoming Handicapped Scuba Association (HSA) dive shops, but we were able to reach several members of the public who did not know they could be SCUBA divers. I enjoyed talking with HSA Instructors from South Africa, Russia, Greece, Germany, England, Australia, to name but a few of the many countries that stopped by, and of course all over the USA.

I wish I could've made it. If ever there is a time you need a person to "show" others, I'd be glad to do it. I just might need some help getting there.

Hey, that's cool. I was looking for HSA instructors in Australia a while back. I didn't know we had any.

I enjoyed hearing about it at the party - I had no idea what was involved in becoming a "certified buddy" before Pasley shared it with me. I was comforted to learn of the different levels the divers are classified into and what safety measures are put in place based on the needs of the handicapped diver.

I meant to get by the booth, but was hardly able to break away from my own booth to do so - next year I'm looking forward to spending some time at the booth.
