There are always going to be degrees of disability and each agency will have there own view on who can and can't dive according to their standards, not unreasonably.
However I do question wether an agency can assess someones ability unless they have a policy and procedures for people with disabilities. Unfortunatly the more rigid the system the less scope for change to adapt to individuals physical difficulties.
I guess at least knowledge and information of DIR can still be gained from these types of forums and at least the DIR guys who frequent YD in many cases are happy to talk and dive with those of us who are non DIR for whatever reason.
