Flippers Under The Sea LLC dba Puako Dive Adventures is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We are continually improving the user experience for everyone and applying the relevant accessibility standards.
1. Conformance Status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.
Puako Dive Adventures is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We have utilized the features and tools within Wix Studio to audit and implement necessary changes toward full conformance.

-
Platform Tools: We use the built-in Wix Studio accessibility wizard and features to conduct regular audits and guide our design choices.
-
Color Contrast: We have reviewed our typography and color schemes.
-
We have modified or bolded text elements that did not meet the recommended WCAG 4.5:1 contrast ratio to ensure that all critical text stays above a 3:1 contrast ratio for readability.
-
-
Keyboard Navigation: We strive to ensure the website is navigable using only a keyboard.
-
Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alt text for all meaningful images.
-
Video Content: The videos contained on the site are original media, mostly depicting underwater life, diving, snorkeling, and on-the-water activities (like whale watching).
