Elsa is a PADI Seal Team member and a power chair user with cerebral palsy which means she is unable to walk independently. Diving during her Seal Team experience has helped her mentally and physically by giving her the opportunity not always offered to people with a disability. The Seal Team created an environment in which she was safe and secure, and at the end of each session she could not wait to get back in the water again. Her favorite part of the Seal Team was mastering hovering because it gave her a freedom she cannot experience on land. She wants to continue learning to dive so that she can experience weightlessness and see dolphins in the wild.
