With diving agencies
Your SSI, PADI, CMAS or RAID training governs how you dive. Mindful Diving™ adds how you are there.
首个 Mindful Diving™ 专长课程
Mindful Breath™
第一次潜入，始于一次呼吸。
潜水员的呼吸本就比陆地上几乎所有人都更慢。Mindful Breath™ 将装备带来的这一附带结果转化为练习：让呼吸练习贯穿潜水全程，再随潜水员回到家中。
这是专长，不是级别。Mindful Breath™ 与下潜进阶路径 MD-1 至 MD-5 并行，既不替代任何级别，也不跳过任何级别。
专长课程——各级别均可选修
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.
专长课程——各级别均可选修
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.
证据告诉我们什么
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现有证据令人期待，但并非奇迹。仍需更严谨的试验，作者也明确指出了这一点。以测量为据，不凭假设。
贯穿练习全程的呼吸
Before · Below · Between · Beyond——同样的四个阶段，从呼吸的角度理解。
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.
注视其中一个，持续三次缓慢呼吸的时间。
两项资质
Mindful Breath Guide™
€222
涵盖潜水员课程的全部内容，另加引导与安全，以及受督导的实习：一次陆地潜前练习引导，以及一次水面休息期间的练习引导。获许可后，可在中心、静修活动和各类活动中带领正式的 Mindful Breath™ 练习，并列入注册名录。
先修要求：已获 MD-1，且持有有效的潜水专业人员等级（任何机构的潜水长或以上），或获认可流派的呼吸教师认证。与 PRO 一样，报名时由本人声明符合资格。
成为 Mindful Breath Guide™桥梁
呼吸练习教师已经熟悉呼吸。他们尚缺的是水中经验——相关标准、安全边界，以及潜前简报的开展方式。衔接课程分两步，帮助他们跨过这段距离。
认证呼吸教师的完整路径：MD-1 (€111) + Mindful Breath Guide™ (€222) = €333。
其他所有人，MD-1 与 Mindful Breath Diver™ 合计：€177。

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.
安全是第一项正念练习
- 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.
问题
- 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.
