Toby Yip loves the sea. When he as 17 years old and working as a beach lifeguard, a diving accident left him wheelchair bound. He went to university, became a social worker, got married, had a daughter. He even rekindled his passion for the sea, learning scuba diving with veteran coach Stephen Au and returning to the sea. Over the past 13 years, Au has taught over 1,000 students with disabilities. For them, scuba diving is not only as a hobby but also therapy: true inclusion is possible in the state of weightlessness underwater.

Yip subsequently joined an organisation for divers with disabilities as chairman, helping more people like him return to the sea. Life in a wheelchair can also be fulfilling. Over the years, Toby Yip's wife has stayed by his side, on land and in the water. In this episode, presenter Sham Hang-fu will chat with Yip.
