Introducing Scuba Yoga with Aquanauts Grenada
Wait, what? Scuba Yoga? So you do yoga poses underwater? How does that work?
Well, actually Yoga is a philosophy and addresses many aspects of our daily lives. As a scuba diver, you are already practicing Yoga and especially the non-harming aspect of the eight legs of Yoga, Ahimsa.
As a scuba diver you are conscious of your breathing in the beginning and as you get more confident you use your breath to navigate you through the underwater world. That is where scuba yoga sets in; it can help you to be more in control of yourself in an environment where we all came from but lost the connection with thousands of years ago.
Scuba yoga is a breathing technique in the first instance and an exercise in consciousness in the second. Of course you do some asanas to prepare your body for wearing that scuba gear. But mainly it teaches you how to mentally prepare for scuba diving – not only to overcome initial anxieties, but also to enhance the whole experience. When your mind is prepared for what to expect you will be more conscious of your surroundings, enjoy the peace and tranquillity under water even more, and you will become a safer and more confident diver.
A course with Aquanauts Grenada includes yoga classes, meditation, pool sessions, two open water dives and a PADI YOGA DIVER certification. You can book it anytime with a week’s notice and it takes between 2-3 days. The course is open to all basic certified divers and a special recommendation for everyone who wants to go further into technical diving.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
