Love this yet again! Few additional things to think of. • if they have equipment- wheelchair, prosthetic, walking aid. Where can this go before, during and after? A wheelchair or prosthetics can cost £3-7000 or more! Are you going to just leave that on the beach? Can that even go on a beach or boat ? Can it get wet? • carer/carer's how involved are they? Where do they go during the dive? Is it safer for them to dive with the adaptive diver as they will know the signs? Or is it safer for them to join but as an added diver so the pressure is of them? Or have they been up 5-6-7 times that night sorting our the adaptive divers needs? Is it safer for them to join another group? Is it safe for them to dive at all ? Are they even a diver?. • Access- is the site safe , accessible and have the facilities for all divers not just adaptive? • if they have no leg - which side needs weighting? (You'll be surprised) • blind - not just have a full face mask with coms but make sure you know their tactile hand signals. • Quadriplegic- may have full face mask with comms but if they can't bailout the mask must be fitted with a quick disconnect and you must have a quick disconnect on your octo or extra on your first stage . Just a few things lol i have a thousand more . Again free whenever you need me !
