Texas Country Reporter talks to Jeremy Duong, a Texas Wesleyan student who is preparing to dive

This Texas Country Reporter segment plunges into the world of Adapt-Able Scuba, where people with disabilities experience the magic of the underwater world alongside others. The foundation has partnered with Texas Wesleyan University to use the University's pool, as well as allow students to participate and train with their scuba team.

Meet Kenne Melendez, the co-founder, prepping for a dive with participants including Jeremy Dong, a Texas Wesleyan student who found new confidence thanks to the program. The video also spotlights a young man with muscular dystrophy who explored reefs with his family, encountering sharks and rays!

Scuba diving offers freedom and peace unlike anything else, and Adapt-Able's power to unite people. As Kenne says, it's pure magic!

Intrigued by an activity that's both inclusive and unforgettable? You can minor in scuba at TXWES and even join Adapt-Able Scuba!
