SCUBA instruction for the disabled

By Jim Blue

A group of local SCUBA instructors are opening up the underwater world to disabled people in Northwest Ohio.

Recently, an exceptional young woman who works here at NBC24 became their first student. Tenesha Ulrich uses a wheelchair to get around on land. But in the water, she is just as mobile as anyone else. I talked with Tenesha and her instructor, Jeff Davis, about the experience.

Tenesha: "And I put my feet actually on the floor of the pool and I straightened my legs out and then it was like I was standing up."
