Did you find what you were reading here useful?
I create these pieces because I am interested in the experiences of scuba divers and in offering a space where we can reflect on those experiences. I hope some of this resonates with you and helps you feel seen as a scuba diver.

To explore these ideas and grow from your own diving experience, you can look through the practices and resources I make on fittodive.org.

There you will find a range of courses for scuba divers, a self-help resource and details about services I offer. At the moment, I love creating the guided audio practices to help divers reflect and grow from their scuba experiences.
