Maureen is legally blind and has Retinopathy of Prematurity. She is blind in her right eye and has poor vision in her left eye. She is a graduate student in the Ph.D. Marine Biology Interdisciplinary Program at Texas A&M University. Adaptations Maureen uses for scuba diving include a computer with a 1-inch display and backlight as well as tactile underwater hand signals, similar to the communication style of Helen Keller. With the help of the grant, she hopes to further her diver education and plans to learn advanced diving and enhanced air diving.
