UNEXSO and DiveHeart team up to provide diving for the disabled

The International Underwater Explorers Society (UNEXSO), is the premiere dive destination and dolphin experience facility located in Lucaya, Grand Bahama Island. UNEXSO and the DIVEHEART FOUNDATION of Downers Grove, Illinois are pleased to announce the first disabled dive training course for instructors and dive buddies. Jim Elliot, President of DiveHeart Foundation was founded in 2001 and is a non-profit tax exempt national organization. The purpose of Diveheart is to provide and support educational SCUBA diving and snorkeling experience programs that are open to any physically impaired child or adult in the hope of providing both physical and psychological therapeutic value to that person.

DiveHeart holds a number of instructor and buddy training courses throughout the United States and Caribbean. UNEXSO has been selected as the next host site for DIVEHEART FOUNDATION training course September 20-27, 2008. According to Elliott, “UNEXSO offers the perfect location for our disabled diver training programs and they are fully capable of handling our students with a state of the art facility and handicapped ramps for easy access to the dive boats and Pelican Bay Hotel located next door to the dive center.”..[Bahama Islands Info]
