Dive Pirate`s

Dive Club (English)

Service:
  • PADI
  • School Course Learn to Dive
Company description This organization was formed by adventuring SCUBA Divers that prowl the Spanish Main (Caribbean) in search of good diving and even better camaraderie and practical jokes. We also want to support our special friends that have an adventurous spirit but might need able bodies divers to assist them. We have now taken that to the next step which is a Texas Non-Profit Corporation and 501 c 3 tax exempt organization with the goal of raising funds for training, equipping and traveling with Adaptive Divers, their buddies and mainstream divers. While we welcome all disabled persons that want to dive, Dive Pirates Foundation is focused on returning war veterans who have been disabled as a consequence of wounds received in combat. 2005 was our inaugural fund raising gala and trip, and we pledge to do this trip at least annually.
Adaptive Scuba is a training philosophy that addresses the specific needs of a disabled individual, trains to that specific disability, and then prepares that individual to dive with mainstream divers. We do this by including as many standard skills as possible and by jointly training with an Adaptive Buddy that can fill in the gaps for the disabled diver. These divers are a team that can dive in most locations with open water divers.
Dive Pirates was originally a social club of divers that enjoyed practical jokes on dive trips and sharing them on our website. Initially, money was raised to sell T-shirts and special Scuba Do Rags TM. In 2003, this was expanded as a fund raising organization for Adaptive Scuba and began to look for candidates and funding to train them
Location description: Dive Pirates derives its name and philosophy from the combination of diving adventure and the romance of the Caribbean, especially the panache of pirates. Traditionally, pirate crews would take care of injured crew members by making them peg legs, hooks, eye patches, etc. Disabled crew members were not banished from the ship, but were given new tasks that they could perform and be useful to the rest of the crew. They were also given a pre-determined cut of the booty in exchange for their contribution. Dive Pirates continues that spirit by bringing the Adaptive Divers along with the rest of the crew and cutting them in on the priceless booty of Scuba Diving in the Caribbean.
