Andrew Meyer
Andrew discovered scuba diving while 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. He has since been validated for PESH 40, the highest level obtainable for divers with disabilities in France. The lack of information regarding blind and visually-impaired people and scuba diving inspired him to create and host this podcast.
