Handicapped Diver
Training
With the arrival of Dominion
and Dauntless begins a new era in Maui diving for handicapped scuba
divers. Greg Howeth and Akiyo Murata, Lahaina
Divers owners are committed to providing the highest level
of service and diving experiences to all divers, those with disabilities
as well as the able-bodied divers. Dominion is just the latest example
of that commitment. Prior to Dominions’ arrival, the entire
Lahaina Divers staff became certified
as Handicapped Open Water Dive Buddies. The rigorous training sessions
were conducted by Lahaina Divers IDC Course
Director and HSA Instructor, Laura Scott. The training was held in
a pool environment as well as in the open ocean. Each “Dive
Buddy” had to simulate multiple handicap situations as the diver,
and as the buddy. All came to have great appreciation for the effort
involved and the satisfaction gained by those with disabilities choosing
to become certified scuba divers.
