This certification is for Handicapped Scuba Association dive buddy course. We will not be doing any Handicapped certifications at this time.
From Handicapped Scuba Association website (http://www.hsascuba.com/) :
The Dive Buddy Course(DBC)
Many of us know someone, a friend or family member, we'd like to involve in scuba diving. Or, we'd welcome the challenge of learning about disabilities, accessibility issues and how to dive with people who have disabilities. The HSA "Dive Buddy Program" offers able-bodied divers this opportunity to expand their underwater world to include sharing it with a handicapped partner. An HSA certified Dive Buddy receives nearly as much information and skill training as an instructor , except the training focuses on recreation, not instruction.
Please let me or Marty know if you plan to attend this class; we must have 8 students for the weekend and we also need to know for planning purposes! $100 for this class including books, PIC and our instructors time is a BARGAIN!
