Woman scuba dives in her wheelchair

[Jazzy]

A wheelchair-bound woman has not let her disability stop her from exploring the ocean as a scuba diver.

Sue Austin started scuba diving after an illness left her restricted to a wheelchair 16 years ago.

Inspired by the experience, she began to develop an entirely new sport - wheelchair diving.

Skip to 3:05 in this video to see the magical footage of her exploring the underwater world with the help of plastic fins attached to the footrests of her chair.
