Stress Awareness Month: Tips for dealing with Stress – Interview with Dawn

My stress reliever is diving.

I discovered diving in 2013 while on holiday in Thailand. I didn’t realise what an impact it would have on my mental health when I first grabbed my fins.

Taking my first breath under the water was the most wonderful experience, looking around at a world I felt privilege to see. The warm water and sound of my breathing offered such a calm feeling it was difficult not to relax. When I Scuba dive, I feel free and at ease, diving allows me to stop the busy life I lead and take time for me reset and recharge.

9 Years later I’m still in love with Diving and thankful I took a leap into a new skill that changed my life. I now teach students the first steps in becoming divers and hope they get to experience the underwater wonders of our planet.
