Diving is a wonderful activity that can become the meaning of life. However, when we are not in the water, we have to live a normal life. Work, take care of the family and fight against adversity. However, in everyday life and difficult moments, diving can also help. See ten life principles you can learn as a diver.
The most important rule of this decalogue is – stay calm. Every problem can be solved and every bad situation ends. All you have to do is stay calm, don’t stress and think about how you can solve the problem.
Don’t be afraid of what can’t be avoided. Everything is out of your control and sometimes it’s just better to take a big step forward. We are usually afraid of what we don’t know.
Whenever you don’t know what to do, just follow the rules you’ve learned. That’s what we establish procedures for, so that you always know what to do.
No matter what happens, appreciate the moment and where you are. These moments will never come back.
In diving, you won’t always encounter big animals. You’ll often see little things that are easy to miss. Just like in life. Don’t miss the little things.
It is difficult to dive without a load. Although it is heavy, it is also essential. Don’t see your limitations as disadvantages. Turn them into an advantage.
You think you’re alone underwater, but that’s not true. The moment you need help, your friends will be there for you. Appreciate it.
Whatever happens, try to be calm and don’t spoil your surroundings. You don’t know what bridges you will need in the future.
Never forget to be self-sufficient. Help from your partner is good, but count on yourself first and foremost.
Finally, a simple and very important piece of advice – just breathe. Everything will be fine!
