Chuck Kays is a Blind Disabled Vietnam Era Navy Veteran. His love for diving was rekindled through HSA/PADI sanctioned programs by which he has achieved many dive certifications, up to Rescue Diver. Having spent nearly 10 years in the water with other handicapped divers, Chuck’s goal is to attain his Master Diver Certificate and progress to an Assistant Dive Instructor. This grant will enable Chuck to finish his certifications, replace worn out equipment, and keep going along his path to help introduce and teach other handicapped people the joy, freedom, and healing power of the water.
