Hugh Fletcher Memorial Training Grant to Assist the Disabled to Dive, sponsored by Friends of Hugh Fletcher (Kathy Weydig)

Dina Zawaski

Dina believes that learning to dive was one of the most transformative and self-empowering experiences of her life. Forever grateful, she concluded that everyone deserves access to diving, and to a healthy and thriving ocean environment. To that end, she works as a PADI Divemaster, spends free time removing trash from her local beach, and is a regular volunteer at the New England Aquarium. She is very grateful to the WDHOF for sponsoring her next step: training to become a Handicapped Scuba Association professional so that she can help introduce divers of all abilities to the healing effects of water immersion.
