COZUMEL DIVE

If you have a disability, whether mental or physical, you may have in the past refrained from going on holiday as you feel it will be more trouble than it is worth and that you are not able to get the enjoyment and fulfillment as others who are able bodied. Views towards those with disabilities have changed and travel for the disabled means that you can enjoy the holiday as much as everyone else.

You will be able to get help from when you leave the house in the way of a taxi that will take you to the airport, train station or ferry that has enough room. This will mean that the travel companies are aware of any special equipment you need to take with you so that you can relax about having all you need.

If you are in a wheelchair all or most of the time then getting into places of interest can be difficult or impossible which is why so many places now at home and abroad have ramps and lifts so that you can see all the world has to offer, although some of the older buildings do not have this in place they are trying to adapt with removable ramps and by keeping the most interesting things on the ground level.

If you want to travel alone you are able to do so now with or without a disability. You will find that the staff where ever you stay are able to speak enough English to be able to ***ist you and on arriving they will make sure you are able to move around safely and get in and out of the hotel with ease. Traveling with a disability is not as challenging as it once was.

Package holidays with the disabled in mind mean that you are still able to make the savings that others do every day. If you decide that you would like a package holiday so that you are able to save on the cost this is not something that is restricted only to those who are able to walk well. You can get a service at the airport especially for you, and this will all be arranged by the company you decide to book with.

Once you arrive at your destination you will be collected by taxi that is able to either fit you in without you having to get out of your wheelchair, or one that has a big enough boot to be able to take you, your luggage and any spe******t equipment you have brought with you.

You can request a room that is downstairs or one that is at a lower level and accessible by lift. The rooms will also have larger bathrooms, grab rails and lower light switches so that you are able to independently make the most of everything the room and accommodation has to offer.

If you need on site medical care there are places that will be able to ***ist you, and have on site doctors, as well as make sure that nearby hospitals are informed of your needs in case of an emergency.
