Adaptive Scuba, Community, and Possibility

This week at Diveheart, we celebrate Disability Employment Awareness Month and the ways adaptive scuba builds confidence, teamwork, and life skills. We’re excited to announce the return of our Atlanta program in partnership with Divers Supply in Marietta, Georgia, bringing Diveheart Scuba Experiences back to the area. Plus, learn why a purpose-built Deep Pool is so important for adaptive scuba—providing a safe, controlled environment for therapy, training, and community connection.

 

National Disability Employment Awareness Month

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, a time to recognize the contributions of workers with disabilities and promote inclusive opportunities for all.


Adaptive scuba builds confidence, teamwork, and leadership—skills that extend far beyond the water and into the workplace.


Together, we can help break down barriers, open doors, and create a world where everyone’s potential is valued.

 
 

Diveheart Returns to the Atlanta Area!

We’re excited to share that Diveheart is restarting its Atlanta program with partnership with Divers Supply in Marietta, Georgia! This collaboration marks the return of Diveheart Scuba Experiences (DSEs) to the region—creating new opportunities for people with disabilities to experience the freedom and healing of adaptive scuba diving.

 

We’re currently looking for a team lead, adaptive dive buddies, and volunteers to help relaunch and grow the program. If you’re ready to make a difference and dive in with us, we’d love to connect!

 

Why a Deep Pool for Adaptive Scuba?

Diveheart Founder and President Jim Elliott asks adaptive divers, instructors, volunteers, and other participants what the Deep Pool Project means to them. From providing a safe, controlled environment to offering therapeutic benefits and expanded training opportunities, the answers show why a purpose-built deep pool is so important for divers of all abilities.
