Safety first

Every practice in this course fits entirely within your existing agency standards and dive plan. Slow, continuous breathing only — never breath-holding, skip-breathing or hypoventilation on scuba. No mindfulness exercise during descents, ascents or gas management. Reviewed by the Safety & Dive Medicine Board.
