Greetings from the Chair of the 2006 Convention! First, I would like to thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to serve in the role of Chairperson of the 2006 U.S. Deaf Ski and SnowboardAssociation (USDSSA) convention. It is great to be chosen as Chair, especially given that the location of the convention will be Telluride. It is a town full of world class ski slopes and is located in San Juan Mountains in Southwestern Colorado. The town is on the edge of paradise a place filled with the awesome force of natures artistry, the mountains, people filled with gentle spirits, great lifestyle with warm hearts. Telluride, once earned its livelihood as a base for mining and is now a recreation mecca filled with wintertime adventure. It is a major ski resort and in the evenings you will be able to stroll through a charming Victorian town filled with examples of its fascinating past and modernistic ammenities that actually dip into the future. I can say this because I was there and its simply a wonderfully appealing site for our ski convention. It is not too early to consider serving on the committee as it will be a great group of people working together.

Please feel free to email me at StephenHlibok@usdssa.org if you are interested in being part of this positive process and event. More details will be announced during the 2004 convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. Meanwhile, why not insert www.tellurideskiresort.com as a favorite bookmark. Afterall, it is not too early for me to say "Welcome to the Telluride, 2006 USDSSA Convention!" For more information, Click here

Have you ever wanted to travel and explore the unknown and try diving, but have been unable to take that giant leap because of your hearing loss? Do you find it hard to understand diving instructors in big classes? FRUSTRATED???

Not anymore. Welcome aboard to the Sampai Jumpa where your travel and diving worries will disappear.

Frank van der Linde and Naomi Hayim have taught many D/deaf and hard of hearing people. Whether you want to learn to dive, or be gently guided around the beautiful sights of the underwater world, let us take you by the hand. Together, we can teach you scuba diving with confidence and ease.

As soon as you jump on the boat, you can relax completely. We will put you in an environment that caters for your needs without you having to feel different from the group.

Following the successes of our previous trips where we had many D/deaf and hard of hearing people join us from the United States, Europe and Australia, please find dates for the next trips starting from early 2006. We look forward to welcoming you!

Dates for 2006 and 2007.

2/13/06 – 2/20/06 – Similan & Surin Islands

4/10/06 – 4/17/06 – Similan & Surin Islands

4/19/06 – 4/27/06 – Burma Banks & Mergui Archipelago

3/08/07 – 3/16/07 – 10-day Manta Ray & Whaleshark Sighting Galore Trip

3/18/07 – 3/25/07 – 8-day Similan & Surin Islands Trip

3/28/07 – 4/17/07 – 3-week Andaman Trip


3/7/06 – 3/28/06 – Andaman Islands — A very special 3-week trip to the unique Andaman Islands. This special trip is open to everyone and is highly recommended as it is one of the last places to see the almost extinct Dugongs (Sea Cows).

The aim of delegating the above trips is for D/deaf/hard of hearing divers to meet one another.

If you wish to come at other times not specified above, you are most welcome to book any trips you wish. Naomi will be on board at all times from October 2005. We use a wide range of communication methods, to ensure that everyone can understand and participate, these being BSL, ASL, lip speaking, gestures and fingerspelling. We aim to accommodate everyone, whatever their communication needs are.

All our trips will be a mix of D/deaf, hard of hearing and hearing people. If you have any specific requests, contact Naomidana via her email address: naomi@worldwidediveandsail.com and she will provide you with any information you require.

“... the fact that communication was not an issue, was the ultimate for me, especially when I compare it to diving in this country and other places, where I have missed out on the dive briefings etc. I also learnt a lot about my diving and hope I have improved. Also, it was so much fun and there were some wonderful people on the trip.”
Shirley Wilson, London, UK

“I loved the diving so much that I have been thinking about whether I want to do graphic design as my career or to go into scuba diving!! Even my parents have noticed the change in me from when I first went travelling to now!! I'm more positive and more like the person I used to be 3 years ago, so you know for sure that I must have had a cracking time!!”
Deniece Wheatley, Bristol, UK

We look forward to welcoming you on the Sampai Jumpa for diving, sailing and travel fun!
