In this episode—recorded before the launch of the podcast (i.e., pre-launch)—Briera (guest host) and David (producer and host) sit down to talk about adaptive scuba, which is one way that persons with disability can experience the wonders of the undersea universe. Rosemary is an experienced adaptive diver and (now ex-) board member of the non-profit Therapeutic Scuba Institute (TSI) and director of Camp Open S.E.A.S. (Science Education and Adaptive Scuba) where youth with disability learn about marine ecology and ocean conservation while diving in the Florida Keys. Jazz is an adaptive-diver-in-training and keen environmentalist, excited to trade the sounds of the city for the sea’s serenity. Throughout the episode Rosemary and Jazz introduce us to the benefits that scuba provides to them, and also how diving allows them to return the favor and benefit the oceans in return. Join us on this journey to learn about the reciprocal exchange of health between divers and the ocean they dive in.

Note(s): Since the time of this recording Camp Open S.E.A.S. is no longer a program of TSI and is now run as it's own stand-alone entity. This episode was first released on Anchor: https://anchor.fm/david-w-mcmillan/episodes/Adaptive-Scuba-with-Therapeutic-Scuba-Institute-evp56p

This is a podcast from Therapeutic Scuba Institute (TSI), a non-profit organization attuned to realizing the therapeutic potential of adapted scuba diving. Diving doesn't have to be medicinal, but this podcast dives in on the kind of scuba that aims at the healing powers of the ocean. We focus on adapted scuba, diving adapted to include people with disabilities, while venturing into the health potential of scuba for all.
