| We define Special Needs as those that for medical or personal reasons, are NOT able to, or are unwilling to get on a boat with those that they do not know or those that would be challenged by an uncomfortable means of getting into and out of the boat. Our ladder is a special design and easy to use. |
When it comes to people with special needs we have found that 3 things are important. One is the ability to get in and out of the boat. Second is our compassion to those that need special attention and third is the quality of our gear and having some aids on the boat for those that need them, such as flotation for non swimmers. Helping those with special needs is something we enjoy and understand. No one needs to be concerned or embarrassed about any special need. We have been of help to the sick, the elderly, those with small children, the handicapped, non swimmers, those afraid of fish and more including those with bowel and bladder issues and many others that for whatever reason would benefit from, or be more relaxed on a private boat.
We ask that you inform us fully in order that we can determine if we can be of service.

The decision will depend on the nature of the need or disability. We cannot promise that we will take everyone that has a special need but we will do our best. Considerations are family support and our abilities.
People with special needs can be assured that Jolene and I will treat them with a mature level of care and understanding. We have taken great joy in this part of our business.
We are both certified in First Aid and CPR and are also ex dive instructors. We have a mature attitude and love helping people to enjoy and experience those trips that would be difficult on a boat filled with people they do not know.
Getting in and out of a boat for many had been problem. Struggling up a poorly designed ladder on a boat with people you do not know is not a pleasant experience and can be embarrassing. We have learned that this one obstacle has kept many from enjoying the snorkel experience. We have done our best to remove this obstacle. |
|
| Because all our trips are private charter (just you and us on the boat), you will be on the boat with people you know and are comfortable with, and we have designed and built a ladder that makes getting back into the boat easy and stress free. |

Our boat is a 26 foot MAKO and has two NEW Evinrude 200 Hp Engines. Ladder has wide steps and goes deep into the water to make entry into and out of the boat very easy. The boat is equipped with life jackets, a first Aid kit and we are both certified Dive Instructors and Medic First Aid Instructors . |
