Diveheart Proposes $300 Million Plan to Expand Therapeutic Scuba Programs
Diveheart, a non-profit organization, is planning to build an underwater education and research facility in North Chicago with a $300 million proposal. The project aims to provide therapeutic scuba diving to people with disabilities and to promote scuba diving as a form of therapy. The facility will also serve as a research center for marine biology and oceanography. The centerpiece of the proposed Diveheart education and research facility in North Chicago is the world’s deepest warm water therapy pool, which is designed to cater to people with disabilities.
