With diving agencies
Your SSI, PADI, CMAS or RAID training governs how you dive. Mindful Diving™ adds how you are there.
初の Mindful Diving™ スペシャルティコース
Mindful Breath™
最初のダイビングは、ひと呼吸から。
ダイバーはすでに、陸上のほとんどの人よりもゆっくり呼吸しています。Mindful Breath™は、器材によって生まれたその呼吸を、意識的な実践へと変えます。呼吸への意識がダイビングの全過程を貫き、帰宅後の日常にも続いていきます。
レベルではなく、スペシャルティです。Mindful Breath™は、MD-1からMD-5へ進むDescentの学習経路と並行するものです。いずれのレベルにも代わらず、省略もできません。
スペシャルティ — どのレベルでも任意で受講
How it fits
One pathway. Five levels. Specialties deepen it — they never change it.
Your pathway is the Descent: MD-1 to MD-5. That does not change. A specialty is not a level.
Mindful Breath™ deepens one dimension of the practice — the breath — at whichever point you stand. It is never required to advance, and it never replaces a course.
If you dive, you already know this model: it works exactly like a specialty course in your diving agency. A specialty adds a capability. Your certification level stays exactly what it is.
The Descent — the pathway
- MD-1 Mindful Diver™
- MD-2 Advanced Mindful Diver™
- MD-3 Mindful Dive Leader™
- MD-4 Mindful Dive Instructor™
- MD-5 Instructor Trainer™
Five levels, in order. Unchanged by any specialty.
スペシャルティ — どのレベルでも任意で受講
Mindful Breath™ — a specialty
Attaches at any point on the pathway — or before it.
- Before MD-1 — you are not certified yet, and the breath is your first door.
- Alongside any level — MD-1, MD-2, MD-3, MD-4 or MD-5, without pausing the Descent.
- As a professional — a Divemaster or higher, or a certified breath teacher, taking the Guide path.
Complementary, both ways
With breathwork schools
Breathwork schools teach the breath. Mindful Breath™ teaches the breath in, with, and through the water. If you trained with the Wim Hof Method, Oxygen Advantage, SOMA, Respira!, a pranayama lineage or another recognized school, your training is honored here — the Guide path was built with you in mind.
科学的根拠が示すこと
Twelve randomised trials, 785 adults
A meta-analysis in Scientific Reports found breathwork associated with significantly lower subjective stress than control conditions, with a small-to-medium effect (Fincham et al., 2023).
DOI 10.1038/s41598-022-27247-yFive minutes a day, for 28 days
A Stanford trial in Cell Reports Medicine found that five minutes a day of exhale-focused cyclic sighing improved daily mood and lowered resting respiratory rate more than mindfulness meditation (Balban et al., 2023).
DOI 10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100895研究結果には期待が持てます。ただし、奇跡ではありません。より厳密な試験が必要だと、著者たち自身も述べています。推測ではなく、測定に基づいています。
実践の流れを通じた呼吸
Before · Below · Between · Beyond — 同じ4つの段階を、呼吸を通して読み解きます。
Before
The breath before the water
Nasal breathing, a lengthened exhale of roughly one to two, tolerance for rising carbon dioxide, coherence at about six breaths a minute, pre-dive grounding and a clear intention.
Below
Breathing on scuba
Slow, continuous breathing. Breath and buoyancy moving together. Air consumption read as a mindfulness gauge, never as a score.
Between
The surface interval
Recovery breathing between dives, reflection while the experience is fresh, and coherence restored before the next descent.
Beyond
Five minutes a day
The daily protocol on land, where most of life happens: the breath as stress regulation, and the one piece of the ocean every diver carries home.

2つの資格
Mindful Breath Guide™
€222
Diverの全カリキュラムに、ファシリテーションと安全、指導者の監督下での実習が加わります。実習は、陸上でのダイビング前セッション1回と、水面休息中のファシリテーション1回です。センター、リトリート、イベントで公式のMindful Breath™セッションを進行するライセンスが付与され、登録簿に掲載されます。
受講要件：MD-1に加え、有効なダイビングプロ資格（指導団体を問わず、ダイブマスター以上）、または認められたスクールの呼吸指導者資格。PROと同様、登録時に自己申告します。
Mindful Breath Guide™になる橋渡し
呼吸を教える人は、すでに呼吸を知っています。まだ知らないのは、水中のこと。基準、安全に実施できる範囲、ブリーフィングの進め方です。The Bridgeは、その隔たりを2つのステップでつなぎます。
認定を受けた呼吸指導者のための全課程：MD-1 (€111) + Mindful Breath Guide™ (€222) = €333。
それ以外の方は、MD-1とMindful Breath Diver™のセットで€177です。

The Founding 33
The first 33 Mindful Breath Guides™ in the world will form the founding cohort — a founding badge for life, and a name on this page.
It echoes the Founding 100 — the first centers to carry the seal.
安全は、マインドフルネスの最初の実践
- On scuba, the practice is slow, continuous breathing — never breath-holding, skip-breathing or hypoventilation.
- Intense practices — strong ventilation cycles, long breath-holds, cold protocols — are land practices. Never immediately before a dive and never in the water: hyperventilation before immersion is a known factor in shallow-water blackout.
- Every practice fits entirely within the diver's existing agency standards and dive plan.
- Mindful Breath™ is never presented as therapy or medical treatment.
- Reviewed by the Safety & Dive Medicine Board.
質問
- Is this a new level?
- No. The levels are MD-1 to MD-5, and they do not change. Mindful Breath™ is a specialty: it deepens the breath dimension at whichever level you stand, or before you certify at all. It is never required to advance.
- Do I need to be a diver?
- No. Mindful Breath Diver™ is open to divers of any agency and to complete beginners. MD-1 Mindful Diver™ is recommended, not required, and the water session is optional.
- Is this a breathwork instructor certification?
- No. It is the ocean specialty layer: breath practice inside diving, within agency standards. General breathwork instructor training belongs to the breathwork schools, and we are complementary to them.
- Can I teach after the Diver level?
- No. Leading official Mindful Breath™ sessions requires Mindful Breath Guide™.
- I'm a certified breath teacher — what's my path?
- Your existing certification, plus MD-1 (€111) and Mindful Breath Guide™ (€222): the complete path, €333.
- Is it safe?
- On scuba the practice is slow, continuous breathing only — never breath-holding, skip-breathing or hypoventilation. Intense practices stay on land, never immediately before a dive and never in the water. Everything sits inside your agency standards and dive plan, and the curriculum is reviewed by the Safety & Dive Medicine Board.
- How is it measured?
- With the FP20 Fundamental Peace scale, taken before and after the practice cycle, and by Guides for the sessions they lead. Measured, not assumed.
- How long does it take?
- The Diver curriculum is about six hours online, plus the 21 Breaths cycle: one short practice a day for 21 days. The Guide adds about four more hours and two assessed sessions.
- When are the first water sessions?
- This November, in Cabo de Palos in the Mediterranean, and at sea in the Red Sea.
