Alex Calvo is an Army veteran who is quadriplegic as the result of an accident. Alex finds that scuba diving gives him great mobility as well as freedom from pain. His story appeared in California Diver magazine, and there’s a video about Alex called “Free Fall” narrated by Hollywood star Lauren Hutton.
