Diveheart: Creating New Possibilities For People With Disabilities

When we think of scuba diving, we’d think of the endless wonders that you could see in the ocean. But scuba diving also opens up different possibilities for people with disabilities, both physical and developmental. Diveheart is an organisation which provides and supports educational scuba diving programmes to children and adults with disabilities. An organisation that started in the US, they also have a Malaysian chapter, and here to tell us more about the work they do is the Malaysia team lead, Syed Abd Rahman. Also joining us in the studio today is Sharifah Nadia Syed Mohd Famy who was part of the programmes that Diveheart Malaysia ran and is now a certified PADI open water diver.
