What People Are Saying

Real stories from families, divers, and community members impacted by the work.

Progress is possible. Healing is possible. “The Scuba Gym changed my life.” In 2018, I sustained severe injuries in a motorcycle accident that left me confined to a wheelchair. In May 2023, I began dive therapy at the Scuba Gym, hopeful but uncertain about what progress I might achieve. The results have been life-changing. By the winter of 2023, I progressed from a wheelchair to using a walker. By the summer of 2024, I no longer required the walker and was able to transition to using a cane for mobility. The steady improvement I experienced exceeded my expectations and restored a level of independence I once thought was out of reach. The Scuba Gym program truly works. I strongly encourage anyone living with mobility disabilities to consider dive therapy — it has made a profound difference in my recovery and quality of life.

— I got my Life Back!

When I first started coming to The Scuba Gym, my legs were purple due to lack of movement and circulation. Within two weeks, my legs returned to normal color, and I had more energy, strength, and determination to walk again. The Scuba Gym has the kindest, most dedicated people. It has been the most freeing, beautiful experience of my life.

This is absolutely the BEST thing I've ever tried for my son. I have to admit I was skeptical, I'm a believer now. The benefits for him have been, better sleep, less anxiety and definitely better able to cope with things. David and Kim are fantastic. All of the volunteers treat us like family, I could go on and on...
