This week at Diveheart, we’re celebrating the many ways our community makes waves of change. In our newest Divers with Heart video, meet Mackinlay and see how her first Diveheart trip to Cozumel helped her break barriers and discover new confidence. We’re also excited to invite you to a free screening of The Legend of the Statue at the Arcadia Theatre in St. Charles on Sept 18th.

And as always, none of this is possible without the support of our incredible team of donors, volunteers, and friends. Every gift helps us bring healing, confidence, and freedom to people of all abilities.

Breaking Barriers Underwater | New Video

For Mackinlay, who lives with cerebral palsy, everyday life often means navigating barriers and obstacles. But on her first Diveheart trip to Cozumel, those barriers disappeared. Supported by our trained adaptive dive team, she discovered independence, built new confidence, and experienced the freedom to imagine the possibilities.

At Diveheart, scuba is more than sport—it’s therapy, empowerment, and a pathway to inclusion for people of all abilities.

Watch Mackinlay’s story on YouTube in our latest Divers with Heart video.
