Courses
|
The IAHD has a variety of training programs to offer. Not only for the disabled but also for experienced scuba divers and non diving
family or friends who would like to assist with the diving activities.
Because of the wide variety of disabilities that one may
encounter when training disabled divers and as all training is
performance based, achievement of all, or part of the required
objectives will determine the added safety measures that will be
required of the individual. Dive training times will vary.
