Sea Sports Belize trains Rowan Garel for his 2013 Adventure - Diving in the Great Blue Hole!

Nothing holds Rowan Garel back, not his age (he's only 14!) nor the fact that he cannot see!  Each year Rowan embarks on a new adventure to show the world that blind people can accomplish anything people with sight can, and uses these challenges to fundraise for the Belize Council for the Visually Impaired.  

Rowan and his sister Aesha Garel along with spokesperson for the BCVI, Carla Musa, signed up for PADI eLearning and complete their knowledge development sessions online.  Rowan has a special computer that enables him to study the Open Water Course material on his own time.  The 3 soon to be new divers completed the first three knowledge reviews before heading to the pool this past week.

Rowan is doing great!  He's got a special gauge that he can feel so he knows how much air he has in his tank.  He knows how to set up his own equipment.  He can clear his mask, recover his regulator, and share air just like all others divers learn how to do.  

Stay tuned for more adventures with Rowan Garel diving the Belize Barrier Reef and the Great Blue Hole!
