2016/7/22 10:35:56


Question
I`m looking for someone who could direct me to mainly snorkeling eq. for a person who breathes through a stoma (hole in neck). Any info would be appreciated

Answer
Steve,

I was able to find a little bit of info.  There is something called a Larchel Watertherapy & Breathing Device that I found:

You may also be interested in looking into a man named Matt Johnston.  He is Muscular Dystrophy patient that has achieved his dream of SCUBA diving, despite his condition and need for a ventilator to assist with his breathing.  His story is truly an inspiration:

This info should get you started in your search.

Hope this helps,
