Dear friends,
Life
has been a little hectic in the AMCA International office since March! For
those of you who have invited me to submit articles about AMCA International
to your newsletters I will be in touch
with you shortly. We at AMCA I thank you for your patience. I am
writing to update you on our news. As you know before our last visit to
Funding
for AMCA
Grant funding applications were submitted to the Royal Geographical Society and to PADI International (Professional Association of Diving Instructors). |

We were successful in securing a grant from RGS. The PADI Project AWARE Foundation has expressed support and requested some proposal changes for submission later this year. We are encouraged by these organizations and their support for the project. We also thank you for your continuing support.
Progress In Disabled Diving At
this point it is best for AMCA I to announce we have been invited to
work with an eminent American Professor in the field of disabled diving.
We will be joining her for a few weeks this summer in
The
Jordan Project
Moving
the start date of the Jordanian Project to a more appropriate date has the
benefit of ensuring that all relevant parties have had a good opportunity
to input into our planned work schedule, plus obtain the funding that is
required. We feel the Boniare trip and planned work is a positive step
forward. The outcomes will greatly assist the development of the
Jordanian project. At
this time AMCA I would like to reconfirm your
permission to work with your protocol marine research methods for the
benefit of encouraging and integrating disabled divers into Marine
research and Conservation. We believe
this to be a great opportunity.
Best
Wishes
Caroline
