Innovative rehabilitation interventions that provide positive experiences and long-term health benefits to people with physical impairments are needed.Participants reported that scuba diving had a positive transformative impact in their lives through positive emotions, peace/relaxation, personal growth, development of skills, social connections, physical and mental healing, and lasting behavioral changes.Reporting scuba diving as a transformative experience was not influenced by the scuba divers' personality domains, diving level, demographic characteristics, or the number of years they had been diving.Authors recommend the consideration and further exploration of scuba diving as a prospective physical and psychosocial rehabilitation intervention.
