Underwater Wheelchair Inspires Disability Awareness
From: Mashable Watercooler - 08/29/2012

Artist Sue Austin has been wheelchair-bound since 1996. Instead of allowing
her circumstances to hinder her art, she uses it as a vehicle — so to speak.  

Austin has created, with the support of diving experts, an underwater
wheelchair outfitted with a propeller and fins that allow her to steer. With
it, she gracefully hovers through the deep ocean, mingling with fish and
flying past coral reefs. The wheelchair is equipped with a clear fin, making
the artificial device seem slightly less out of place in the serene ocean.
