Schedule
We begin the day with exercises on land focusing on breathing and equalization. Then we enter the water. Initially, we stay in a shallow area, floating on the surface and practicing basic exercises. This gradually builds a sense of safety and confidence.
Afterward, we swim together to the deeper part of the lake. There, we work with a dive buoy and rope. At first, we slowly pull ourselves down the rope to get used to the depth and pressure. Once this feels comfortable, we incorporate dives with fins.
After about 2-3 hours in the water, we return to shore, rest, and have a light snack. In the second part of the day, we reflect on the morning's experiences, add targeted exercises for deeper understanding, and then return to the water. We dive along the rope again and have time to explore the lake's underwater world. There's an underwater forest, small fish, and even a mermaid statue.
All exercises are adapted to the needs and experience of the participants.

We meet on Saturday at 10am at the divecenter by the lake. After a group introduction, we begin with land-based exercises covering breathing and bodyawareness. Then we enter the water for the first dive session: starting in the shallow area with relaxation exercises at the surface, followed by swimming to a deeper part of the lake where we slowly descend along the dive buoy line.
In the afternoon, we deepen theoretical knwoledge and practice equalization before heading out for the second water session, again at the buoy, building on the morning's experiences. The first day concludes with a communal BBQ.
On Sunday, we start the day with gentle movement and breathing exercises. Two more dive sessions follow, where we continue to consolidate and deepen what we've learned. The group program ends around 4pm.
