This is our specialty! We use gradual exposure techniques and you're always with an instructor who's trained in anxiety management. You can surface immediately if needed, and most students find the underwater environment actually calms their panic response. We've never had a student unable to complete the course due to panic.

Absolutely! Many of our students have anxiety disorders and find diving therapeutic. We'll discuss your specific concerns during medical clearance. The controlled breathing required for diving actually helps manage anxiety symptoms. Our instructors are trained to recognize and support anxious students.

We offer a 100% money-back guarantee for any part of the course you don't start. But here's the thing - 98% of our students complete the full course, including those who were terrified on Day 1. We believe in you, and our patient, supportive approach helps even the most anxious students succeed.

Many students notice a difference after Day 1's pool session. The combination of controlled breathing, meditative focus, and accomplishing something challenging creates immediate confidence. The full transformation typically develops over the 3-day course and continues long after certification.

You need basic swimming ability (200m swim and 10-minute float), but you don't need to be Michael Phelps! Many anxious people worry about this, but the buoyancy control you learn makes you feel weightless underwater. It's actually easier than swimming on the surface.

Ocean fear is completely normal! We start in a pool, then move to very shallow, calm water before progressing deeper. You'll be amazed how peaceful and protected you feel underwater. The fear often transforms into wonder within the first day.
