Montrose kids splash into Shark program

MOST people want to stay away from sharks as much as possible, but a group of kids in Corinda want to become shark bait.

Each Saturday for the next six weeks, a group of Montrose Access clients are practising scuba diving in a swimming pool before they dive in a reef tank right next to the sharks at Sea World.

It’s a mean feat for anyone, let alone these kids, aged eight to 14, who also have the life limiting condition of muscular dystrophy which weakens the muscles. Co-ordinator of the Shark Bait Kids program, Sue Nicklin, said scuba diving was a way for the kids to feel free, without being in the usual confines of their wheelchair.

“There’s a lot of benefit emotionally,” she said. “Essentially their disease is a downhill disease, there’s no way they can stop going downhill. But this gives them mobility once they’ve lost it on the surface.”
