The "Dive
for All" initiative aims to provide diving baptims to persons who have physical,
cognitive and visual impairments. Participants of this event will have experimental
diving lessons at the Abóboda Municipal Sports Complex in September, on days 5, 12 and 19. In October
the diving baptims will be conducted at sea, at Duquesa Beach in Cascais.
The adapted diving has several advantages for people with disabilities, such as
the feeling of "lightness" that facilitates the movement of the body.
The practice of this activity enhances self-esteem and autonomy of those who
practice it. The beauty of the aquatic environment and the challenges it
presents work as a therapy for those who practice diving adapted. For diving
instructors work is rewarding, by providing a different experience that
involves the development of new technical and social skills.
The "Dive for All" aims to be a vector of social integration, to
raise awareness of the challenges faced by these users and encourage them to
practice adapted activities, disseminating them. It is intended for people with
disabilities - disabilities (temporary or permanent) and / or special needs.
