Take your diving — and your self-awareness — to the next level.


Take this course with Marina, the developer of this PADI Distinctive Specialty Course in Playa del Carmen! Designed for certified divers ready to explore a more mindful, intentional way of being underwater. Over two days, you’ll complete four open water dives that deepen both your theoretical and practical understanding of diving. You’ll refine buoyancy control, learn advanced breathwork techniques, and gain awareness of how gas consumption connects to your state of mind.


Each session builds toward the ultimate experience: a guided underwater meditation while fully suspended in neutral buoyancy. This moment of stillness allows you to connect deeply with yourself and the ocean — a transformative, sensory experience that leaves lasting impact both in and out of the water.

Meditation Diving Reviews & Underwater Meditation Stories

First-hand testimonials from divers who discovered peace and presence below the surface.

  • I did the meditation diving course with Marina in October 2024. It was a transformative experience.

    It guided me to an inner place of calm and emotional connection with myself that I hadn’t accessed before. It’s hard to put into words, I think it’s a unique combination of the ocean’s energy, which truly catalyzes introspection and deep meditative state.

    I will always remember this experience and feel deeply grateful for it. It was a very challenging moment in my life, and the course helped me navigate it with peace.

    Gracias Marina, for your professionalism, warm patience, and contagious love for what you do.

  • I’ve always loved the ocean, but diving came with a lot of anxiety for me. I constantly worried about my buoyancy—afraid of drifting up too fast or accidentally touching the reef—so I never fully relaxed or felt like I belonged underwater.

    The meditation dive changed everything. The breathwork and mindful approach helped me feel calm, confident, and at ease in my gear and in my body. My buoyancy and gas use improved, and for the first time, I felt connected to the ocean instead of like an outsider.

    The dives that followed were peaceful, joyful, and freeing—like I finally became part of the underwater world.

  • I had the pleasure of joining a meditation dive with Marina. The experience itself, meditating on the sea floor, was dreamy. But the magic wasn’t just felt underwater!

    The dive briefing prepared me so well for what I felt down there, and the surface interval/debrief was well thought out as well. Marina has been curating her program for years, and her knowledge and passion was clearly on display as she guided us skilfully into and out of a beautiful meditation. I felt so safe, connected, and cared for. It’s an experience I will never forget and something I hope I get to experience again soon.

    If you’re hesitating on whether or not to try this – here’s your sign to dive right in! You’re in good hands.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What do you do on a meditation dive?

A meditation dive combines scuba diving with mindfulness practices. Before entering the water, we start with breathwork and intention setting, focusing on relaxation and awareness. The goal isn’t to explore a site quickly, but to find stillness, presence, and connection beneath the surface. We focus on turning inward by using breathwork techniques adapted for safe diving practices and allow ourselves to be fully immersed in the nature. Every dive ends with gentle reflection and grounding before surfacing.

Does it hurt the environment?

Great question! The basis of meditation is mindfulness and respect. We carry these values into every aspect of our lives, especially during diving. I am very careful to be mindful of the environment prior to settling down to meditate. We always use the same area that is commonly used for training dives, so there are no habitats being impacted. Safety is a number one priority, not just for us but also for our fishy friends 🙂

Do I need to be certified to join a meditation dive?

Yes, you must at least have your Open Water Certification to try a meditation dive. If you’ve never tried scuba before, you can try the Discover Scuba Diving experience!

What equipment do I need?

All equipment is provided, including scuba gear and any additional tools for comfort and safety. You just need a swimsuit, a towel, and an open mind. If you have your own gear, you’re welcome to bring it — especially your mask, which often makes the experience feel more personal and relaxed.

Where do the dives take place?

Meditation dives are held in calm, shallow ocean sites either in Playa del Carmen or Cozumel. Each location is selected intentionally to create a peaceful, safe environment where you can focus on breath, buoyancy, and connection.
