Diving Technique & Practice

Diving under water requires a quite different style than swimming on the surface. Yet, as in all physical performance, the most important things are high levels of neuromuscular coordination and relaxation. Add to that the ability to relax mentally, which becomes gradually easier after a drill is performed over and over again. Some people claim that true Mastery requires around 10.000 dedicated hours!

Mental Training & Peak Performance

This module will focus on specific mind training you can do in order to become safer and stronger in the water; regarding safety issues, rescue and performance. When you use your conscious mind to visualize (or a better term might be “imagine”) different acts or events your subconscious mind starts to process this information and integrate it into your entire being. This again will influence the choices you make and the roads you will travel to reach your goals.
