Mindful Breath™,首個 Mindful Diving™ 專長課程。第一次下潛,從一次呼吸開始。
宣言
我們相信,海洋是地球上最適合培養當下覺察的地方之一。
每一次潛水,都是重新連結的機會 — 與自己、與彼此,也與充滿生命的海洋。
水下的每一次呼吸,都在練習覺察。
每一次下潛都提醒我們,幸福始於專注當下。
This is why Mindful Diving exists: to turn the world's most beautiful sport into a path of wellbeing — for divers, for instructors, for the ocean itself.
— THE MINDFUL DIVING MANIFESTO
The purpose
Mindfulness is one of the tools. The purpose is larger: ocean wellbeing — the wellbeing of the people who dive and of the sea they dive in, measured together.
與 SSI · PADI · CMAS · RAID 相輔相成,絕不取代
Why now
Wellness travel is booming. Diving is already contemplative by nature — the breath, the silence, the immersion in something larger. And yet no international standard connects diving with wellbeing science, until now.
Mindful Diving™ 開創這個領域。
The practice arc
Intention & grounding
The dive begins on land: breath, body check, honest limits and a clear intention set alongside the standard briefing.
Presence in the water
Slow, continuous breathing, buoyancy as attention practice, and non-judgmental observation of the reef, the buddy and the mind.
The surface interval
The surface interval becomes the practice: reflection, integration and conversation before the next descent.
Transfer to daily life
What was learned underwater travels home: attention, regulation and care carried into work, relationships and the ocean itself.
The standard
Every practice sits inside the diver's existing agency standards and dive plan. Mindful pre-dive protocols, honest self-assessment and a no-pressure turnaround culture.
Breath, attention and intention frame every dive: grounding before entry, present-moment awareness below, structured reflection afterwards.
Guides and instructors are the front line of safety. Centers commit to fair conditions, rest, burnout prevention and continuous wellbeing training.
Low-impact diving, buoyancy mastery, no-contact ethics, citizen science and a measurable contribution to local marine protection.
Inclusive briefings, psychological safety in the group, buddy culture built on trust, and welcome for divers of every background and ability.
Wellbeing, stress and presence measured before and after programmes with validated instruments. Measured, not assumed.
Centers act as hubs of wellbeing in their community, applying the World Happiness Foundation's science of happiness to how they lead, teach and host.
The descent

The ocean is a meditation hall.

Begin above the surface.
Every dive is already a contemplation session — the breath, the silence, the weightlessness. Dive Into Presence is the World Happiness Academy's open program, for certified divers and complete beginners alike. It is the free first breath of the pathway, before any credential.
首期於九月在馬德里開課 · 西班牙語與英語
實證
Every programme is assessed with the FP20 Fundamental Peace scale and other validated wellbeing instruments, in collaboration with the Chair in Contemplative Sciences at the University of Zaragoza. Results are reported anonymised, every year.
