Combine adventure and self-improvement in one unforgettable getaway on Grand Bahama Island, that goes beyond just exploring the depths of the sea.
August 23-29, 2026.
We have created a unique six-night, five-day land-based trip by joining forces with Dr. Brian Goff, a clinical psychologist, to dive deep into our psyche with his expert-led psychological workshops.
We are offering the opportunity to explore personal growth, self-discovery, and mindfulness while enjoying beautiful scuba dives.
We will dive together every morning, followed by workshops on psychological flexibility with thoughts and feelings. These include Finding Our Flow: Mindful Diving and Present-Moment Awareness for enhancing our dives and safety, Navigation by Our Values: Who We Are and Why We Dive - identity, values, and committed actions.
This retreat is the perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and self-discovery, offering a rare opportunity to combine the experience of scuba diving under the direct supervision of Cristina with the benefits of psychological exploration.
It is a chance to deepen the connection to ourselves and the world around us.
We will dive off the south shore of Grand Bahama, in a mix of reef, wrecks, and shark encounter dives—no night dives.
