TSI’s Family and Friends program is a first of its kind. It is essentially a matchmaking service which connects private adaptive scuba instructors with individuals with disabilities and their family members, or friends, who wish to train together and become certified scuba divers. Training together and forming your very own adaptive dive team is a very special thing.
It not only creates a very strong bond but also gives the team something they can enjoy together for the rest of their lives– sharing the adventure, excitement and tranquility exploring the underwater world, and perhaps even join the movement to save our planet through ocean conservation dive programs.
This service is made possible by TSI’s registry of adaptive scuba instructors and support divers located throughout the United States creating a network of professional scuba instructors qualified in adaptive scuba and who stand ready to help you make this incredible experience happen.

In addition, TSI facilitates adaptive scuba training for college level therapy students from introductory level scuba to professional Adaptive Scuba Instructorship thru its strategic partners.
Students may also have an opportunity to participate in modality labs, internships, and evidence-based research to explore the health and wellness benefits of adaptive scuba while earning academic credits towards their college degree.
