Our Personal Story
2007 was a life changing experience as a parent for me. One week we had a happy, healthy son, the next week we found out he had a brain tumor with a high probability of not making it through the surgery. After the surgery, it left him paralyzed from the neck down. He regained some use of his right side over time, but he is still paralyzed on the left side even today. I spent 2 months with him in the hospital, night and day, and 3 years of PT, OT, and several other therapies, along with lots of prayers.
Today he walks, runs, and does anything he puts his mind to! It was during this time that I created a SCUBA Rehab
Therapy to help my son. The techniques that I developed, I found, could help others. SCUBA Therapy is extremely
beneficial to people with brain injuries. It is one of the reasons David Jr....AKA “Scuba Jr.” has recovered so
well. I started The Scuba Gym to bring Scuba Therapy to people with Special Needs and Neurological Injuries, and
what a blessing it has been.
