The disabled divers project consortium Diveheart, Shake-A-Leg Miami and the Active Divers Assn are hosting a lecture, picnic and fundraiser from 6:30 p.m. that day to raise some startup funds for our project. Dr. Alex Brylske, the senior editor of Dive Training magazine and a training officer at DAN, is doing a lecture on "Diving Safety Myths and Misconceptions" new info based on DAN research of real diving accidents over the past 20 years. We’ll have a picnic with that and charge just $20 per person. Hope you can come!


About Diveheart



The Diveheart Foundation was founded in Early 2001 and is a non-profit tax exempt 501 (C) (3) national organization chartered in the state of Illinois. The purpose of Diveheart is to provide and support educational SCUBA diving and snorkeling experience programs that are open to any physically impaired child or adult in the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person.


It is the CAN DO spirit that the Diveheart Foundation hopes to instill in all its participants. Giving them the confidence and independence that allows them to face their own life challenges and overcome barriers that before might have seemed insurmountable.


Through SCUBA diving the Diveheart Foundation supports and facilitates programs that teach children and adults with physical impairments to fly. Thanks to the wonder of the water column the oceans and lakes of the world become the forgiving weightless environment of outer space, giving perfect buoyancy to a child or adult who would otherwise struggle on land.
