Blind scuba diver finds zen on Cayman Brac trip
Like so many other people who have experienced the joy of scuba diving in the Cayman Islands, Bob Kitchens from Colorado can’t praise it highly enough.
“Diving is addictive,” he said. “The more you do it, the more you want to do it.”
Unlike most other divers though, Kitchens is completely blind and paralysed from the waist down. He was driving home 14 years ago when another car ‘T-boned’ him, rolling his van and breaking his back. Blood and oxygen loss during emergency surgery caused him to lose the sight in both eyes.
