Successful 1st NO BARRIER TOUR in Catalonia
On February 17th it took place the first DDI (Disabled Divers International), No Barrier Tour, in Vilassar de Mar (Barcelona), Catalonia. The event was developed in an entertaining environment, with a lot of participation. A part of DDI staff, there were 15 people following the event, participants, family and interested people.
The program was divided into two main parts:
A.- We made the presentation of the DDI Foundation and the activity that we are developing in Catalonia.
** After it we took a break with a fantastic breakfast: typical bread with tomato and sausage.
B.- Afterwards, we start practicising exercises in the pool. Surface and underwater exercises.

H2O Diving Lund in Sweden
"H2O Diving Lund in Sweden, there were Five candidates there started the course on Friday evening and followed it up with academics and a pool session on Saturday. On Sunday after the final exam the course finished with a very interesting workshop where the candidates evaluated their facilities, pool area and open water locactions. The goal was to see how the different areas suited disabled divers and how to improve. Many great ideas were shared and will be executed straight away.
All five candidates agreed that they had a great weekend and learning experience. The planning for the first No Barrier Tour is already in motion.
A big thank to DDI for a fantastic course!"

Four Weeks Working For The DDI
Since the founding of DDI I have followed the development and process establishing the organisation on the sideline with great interest. As a former colleague of Flemming Thyge and working as a Diversity Management Consultant with development assignments in the educational sector and as a projectleader of a Knowledge Center for Better Education of Bilingual Students in the VET-schools in Denmark, Flemming has often used me as a mirror to his ideas about founding The DDI during the years. Ideas , values and realized business areas that I both professionally and personally found – and still find - an interest in.
