Adaptive Scuba Program
Adaptive Scuba Diving
Welcome to Red Alert Diving, a PADI 5 Star Dive Center. We are passionate about everything scuba diving. We believe that diving is not just a sport or a hobby, but a way of life. Our team of experienced divers is dedicated to providing everyone with the best diving experience possible, whether you're a beginner, an experienced diver, or a professional looking to broaden your offerings.
Red Alert Diving is bringing the sport of Scuba Diving to persons with limited abilities! To further this goal, we are thrilled to partner with Crusty Crab Diving, a Florida based 501c3, to offer training for divers with disabilities and their friends and families.
Our mission is simple - to share our love for the underwater world and inspire others to explore it. We offer a range of diving courses and excursions to suit all levels, from introductory courses for beginners to advanced training for experienced divers.
We are now conducting adaptive scuba training. Adaptive training is a method of coaching persons with disabilities to participate in scuba as independently as their abilities will allow.
At Red Alert Diving, safety is our top priority. All our instructors are certified and experienced, ensuring th
at you receive the best training and guidance. We use only the best equipment and follow strict safety protocols to ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable diving experience. Students are trained using the same programs, information and standards as able-bodied divers with the focus on adapting the skills to their abilities. These adaptations are made throughout training, and many divers will earn the same certification as their able-bodied counterparts. In other cases, students are taught with specially trained buddies who are required to dive with them to safely explore the underwater world.
Working with a team of trained diving professionals, you will build a plan to best meet the training requirements for a PADI open water certification. We will help you adapt your abilities and skills to the underwater environment.
Who can do it?
This program is open to any person medically qualified to dive. As long as you meet the medical criteria for diving, you can try adaptive scuba. People with amputations, spinal cord injuries, hearing loss and vision impairment are welcome to join us for dive training. As long as you can hold a regulator in your mouth, we want to share the underwater world with you.
We understand that diving is not just about the dive itself, but also about the community and the experiences shared with fellow divers. That's why we have created a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can come together to share their passion for diving. Whether you're looking to make new friends, explore new dive sites or simply enjoy the peacefulness of the underwater world, Red Alert Diving is the place for you.
So, if you're looking for an unforgettable diving experience in a friendly and welcoming environment, look no further than Red Alert Diving.
