(…Water discriminates no one…)

Members of the Malaysian Paralympics Team (Perwira K9 Group) were provided with an opportunity to be part of the No Barrier Tour – Try Scuba Dive.   This event was organized by DDI Instructor Sanjay Vaghasia and Malaysia’s 1^st DDI Level 1 OW diver Ms Ras Adiba Radzi and was conducted at the PJ Palms Swimming pool. 

All six participants were very excited & charged up during the session as they got to experience first-hand on how it feels to breathe and move underwater freely. This is a big step for them as they all have different levels of disabilities.

Mr Mohamed could not stop smiling after his pool dive, having experienced a state of weightless while in water. A selected few are considering to explore further to complete their OW DDI course, in the near future.

“The chaps surprised themselves today, for many, it was their first time in the water after a lifetime of being confined in a chair”, quoted by Ras Adiba.

Dino who said that the first 15 minutes was priceless until he realised that he is actually underwater just like them fishes! Then hell broke loose as it suddenly occurred to him that he was in the deep end of the pool!
