Handisub - Safaga, Egypt 2023
In this bonus episode, Andrew recounts his first dives in the ocean on his first trip with Handisub divers and their instructors. He shares with us his experience as he explores the underwater landscape with first touch and then by sound with the help of highly certified Handisub guides. He learns first how to recognize different types of coral, sea sponge and other marine plants, but quickly progresses to being able to listen to fish and even determine in which direction the fish are located.

Andrew Meyer
Andrew discovered scuba diving hile attending the advanced academy at the Space Camp for the Blind and Visually-impaired in Huntsville, Alabama. More than twenty years later and after moving to France, he finally found a club that was willing to train blind and visually-impaired scuba divers. The lack of information regarding blind and visually-impaired people and scuba diving inspired him to create and host this podcast.
