Diving Therapy: New Horizons for Individuals with Disabilities

The "Diesel Show" team is actively participating in rehabilitation programs for individuals with disabilities in Odesa. 
 
Diving offers new opportunities for those seeking to return to an active lifestyle.

Underwater, individuals experience a remarkable lightness, as if their weight has vanished, which is particularly beneficial for those who have undergone amputations. The water alleviates stress on joints and muscles, allowing for relaxation while simultaneously training. Each movement becomes smoother and more controlled, aiding in the recovery of coordination.

"By leveraging natural resources such as the sea and fresh air, we managed to arrange open-water diving training. During one of the dives, the "Diesel Show" team joined us, assisting our veterans in confidently engaging with the instructors", - stated Vasyl Rybak, head of the rehabilitation service of the city health department. 

The show artists also visited adaptive billiards training sessions.
