No Barrier Tour DDI Greece
On the 7th and 8th of September, we had at Kolindros Pierias Greece a No Barrier Tour NBT.
This program was organized with “Alli Opsi” www.alli-opsi.gr that is an organization which organizes events and activities for people with mobility problems and disabilities.
16 people with amputations, paraplegia and tetraplegia participated in the event.
DDI is recognized in Portugal
My good friends:
today is one of the most happy days of my life.
From now on, this day will be in our memories as the day that we received the oficial approval from the Portuguese Government.
From this moment DDI is a recognized and legally accepted diving system in Portugal!!!
This is a very important step for DDI, not only in Portugal but worldwide, as it can be used as a case of sucess in future cases, but it is very important to have in mind that it also brings more responsability to all of us.
FocusNatura carried out a No Barrier Tour
On the August 11th, the FocusNatura DDI Dive Center, with the Portuguese Association of Disabled People – Madeira Delegation, carried out a No Barrier Tour. This NBT happens to be a pioneering initiative in the Autonomous Region of Madeira!
The initiative took place at the Hotel Pestana Promenade in Funchal, which provided a pool for the event, giving opportunities to people with special needs to experience the benefits of scuba diving.
