At Grateful Divers Worldwide, we believe scuba diving should be for everyone — no matter their physical ability, background, or experience. What began as a local passion project has grown into a global movement for adaptive diving, empowerment, and inclusion.

We are divers, instructors, families, and advocates working together to redefine what’s possible underwater — and beyond.

We Redefine Possibility

Our Mission is to provide people living with disabilities, special needs groups, and their families with positive life-changing experiences through a modern, innovative, and integrative approach to adaptive Scuba Diving with a goal of improving social interaction, life enrichment, and wellness.

Grateful Divers Worldwide is dedicated to providing people living with disabilities the same opportunity to enjoy a safe and controlled environment while receiving the highest quality training, certification, and adaptive scuba diving.

Our Story

Founded by a team of passionate divers, Grateful Divers Worldwide has helped build adaptive dive programs, train instructors, and connect communities through a shared love of the ocean. From South Florida to international waters, our reach is growing — and so is our impact.
