DEMA 2006: Diveheart
16th Nov 2006, 08:51 GMT
Filed under: Events, Organizations, DEMA 2006 Of course, not everything on display at the DEMA Show was tangible, purchase-able dive gear. Some of the booths featured dive-related organizations that were more service-oriented as opposed to profit-motivated. For example, Diveheart was present. The purpose of Diveheart is to provide and support educational scuba diving and snorkeling experience programs for physically impaired children or adults. Inspiring confidence and independence helps these people face life's challenges and overcome barriers that might otherwise seem insurmountable. After all, what greater fear is there to overcome than the fear of not breathing?! Organizing events, and facilitating dive trainings and trips (lots of trips), Diveheart works hard to help disabled divers -- like Matthew Johnston, who was there at DEMA -- achieve their dreams. Divehearts' booth may not have been the biggest or most crowded on the show floor, but it was certainly filled with the most passion. If you're interested, Diveheart has plenty of ways for you to get involved. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
