And he should know. After he lost his right leg to cancer, Leo struggled with life. But he decided his disability would not define him. When friends suggested scuba diving as part of his physical therapy, he was hooked. He quickly progressed from diver to dive instructor and technical diver. Leo has set two world records as a disabled diver, one for depth and one for distance underwater, and tirelessly travels to share his message that disabilities are only in the mind.</p><p>Leo Morales is a disabled diver and an international English-Spanish motivational speaker. Currently, he is preparing for a third world record for scuba diving in a cenote in Quintana Roo. He is an ambassador of the international diving brands PADI, Cressi, XDeep, Intova. </p><p>In 2016 <em>Sports Illustrated</em> included Leo in a list of people in sports with disabilities. Through his foundation, Open Sea, he promotes diving for people with disabilities.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Leo Morales's infectious smile and boundless enthusiasm are only a few of the traits that make him a standout personality in our sport and industry.

Our annual divers with disabilities trip has been a huge success . . . This year we became official affiliates of WAVES (Wounded American Veterans Experience Scuba) organization, a group dedicated to introducing and training disabled American veterans to dive. As a veteran I'm ecstatic to be able to help my fellow veterans experience the joy, freedom and therapeutic benefits of scuba diving. [DIve-abled] captures the many benefits scuba diving offers for someone with a disability . . . [I'm planning] to give the book to all class participants . . . Dive-abled portrays a real-life experience that directly ties into the messages we present in the course."</p><p>- Scott Taylor</p><p>Owner<br><br>A-1 Scuba & Travel Aquatics Center</p><br>
