In 2001 he founded the Diveheart Foundation, a volunteer-driven, not-for-profit organization that helps build confidence and independence in children, adults, and veterans with disabilities through adaptive SCUBA diving and snorkeling. Diveheart works with individuals who have any type of disability, including developmental disabilities, vision and hearing impairment, paraplegia, quadriplegia, and amputation. Elliott’s goal is to have more people with disabilities experience the therapeutic value of the underwater environment through collaboration with hospitals, rehabilitation centers, veterans’ organizations, and volunteers. He is currently planning a world headquarters for Diveheart, which will feature a dive training facility. Through his work, people with disabilities all over the world are experiencing freedom underwater. Please visit the Information Desk for assistance or more information on the following: Sign language interpreters will be available at major presentations and all gallery videos are closed captioned. Scripts for all major presentations are available for checkout. Free Audio Tours are available for checkout for people who have a visual disability. Behind-the-Scenes Tours are fully accessible.
