Today was a spiritually rewarding Sunday at Blue Grotto Dive Resort, in Williston, FL. I was invited by AirHogsScuba.com & StuartScuba.com, to join in, and photograph a husband and wife dive team, both paraplegics, as they sought to embrace diving, and partake of being gravity free.

Robin & Catherine are members of their local disabilities group in SC, and expressed an interest in learning how to scuba dive. Their group contacted the SDI handicapped divers program called Scubility, who then referred them to certified Scubility instructors, Thomas Powell & Josh Norris, of Air Hogs Scuba, here in FL.

Air Hogs Scuba then enlisted the services of Stuart Scuba as additional support staff.

The 2 day event at Blue Grotto’s top of the line facility provided all the needed amenities (pool, classrooms, cabins, gear, & spring) for a leisurely, enjoyable, and safe stay.

It was a real pleasure to meet all these great people, and participate with them in their successful endeavors.
