Deep Blue Freedom

By: Andrew Meyer
  • Summary

  • Deep Blue Freedom was created to share the passion for scuba diving and to raise awareness of the benefits it offers those with disabilities. Through scuba diving, those with disabilities can experience increased freedom, independence and confidence that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to achieve otherwise. Throughout the various episodes of Deep Blue Freedom, we hear from adaptive divers of all levels and their instructors as they share their unique experiences, recount stories of real dives, overcome challenges and celebrate their triumphs. We dive deep to discover what skills, techniques and adaptations are available to enrich the experience for divers with disabilities.

  • Handisub - Safaga, Egypt 2023
    Apr 10 2024

    In this bonus episode, Andrew recounts his first dives in the ocean on his first trip with Handisub divers and their instructors. He shares with us his experience as he explores the underwater landscape with first touch and then by sound with the help of highly certified Handisub guides. He learns first how to recognize different types of coral, sea sponge and other marine plants, but quickly progresses to being able to listen to fish and even determine in which direction the fish are located.
