According to the Scuba Diving International (SDI) website, “The SDI Scubility Diver Program is designed to give physically disabled divers the necessary skills and techniques used to conduct open water dives in conditions similar to their training without the direct supervision of a SDI Scubility Instructor. However, some SDI Scubility divers require supervision of a qualified SDI Dive Buddy.”
What do Scubility Buddies Do?
Scubility divers may need a range of assistance based on their particular strengths and weaknesses. For example, divers without use of their legs may need assistance getting in and out of the water, carrying their gear, adjusting the trim of their body in the water, utilizing special dive gear, and modifying propulsion techniques. Training as a Scubility Buddy introduces you to the mindset and hands-on skills required to work with differently abled divers.
