Scuba diving programme in KK opens 'whole new world' to wheelchair users

KOTA KINABALU: A wheelchair user for most of her life, charity worker Iziani Hayati Abbas never dreamed she would have the chance to try out certain activities, including scuba diving.

However, she found a whole new world underwater and gained a new sense of confidence when members of non-profit organisation Diveheart, along with volunteers and doctors, came together to train persons with disabilities for a discovery dive programme.
