The International Association for Handicapped Divers (IAHD) is a diving association, which focuses on providing the means for those with physical disabilities who wish to become scuba divers.
To enable individuals with serious physical disabilities to participate in underwater activities requires competent instructors, underwater guides, capable dive buddies, as well as training programs, standards, guidelines, materials, and member support. The IAHD provides this.
The IAHD gives presentations at seminars, symposiums and attend Dive and Rehab Exhibitions. IAHD newsletters keeps members informed of the latest information.
Since the foundation of the IAHD in April 1993, the organization has steadily grown and is noowadays celebrated in the world. The IAHD receives very positive responses from rehabilitation centres, diving organizations, diving instructors and the media.
The IAHD has its head office in the Netherlands with regional branches in many places around the world. We have already conducted numerous training programs at all levels of training, all around the world.
