Synopsis

Diving technique is frequently discussed in merely physical terms; it is as if when we enter the water, we leave our mental faculties behind on terra firma. A diving instructor of many years standing, Monika Rahimi concentrates on the natural breathing technique required and how to overcome being afflicted by the anxieties around diving. Yet she expands upon them with the understanding that our mental activity feeds directly into our physical behaviour - and often vice versa - which can be intensified when under water, an environment that never fails to assault and surprise our senses. Ultimately, this guide will be as valuable to the novice who has never swum deeper than the bottom of their local pool as it will be to a fearless diver of teaching standard, for in helping the latter recall the fears and worries of the newcomer, they will be all the better equipped to help them overcome such things - both mentally and physically.
