What is diving to me?
Imagine there's a whole new world that opens up for you to be discovered and be explored...How would that change your life? Have you ever wondered what the ocean could contribute to your life?
The ocean is an incredible invitation to get in touch with so many aspects of us; the ocean is an amazing teacher. So many people are afraid of the water, the depth, the undefinable or uncontrollable. A lot of people are afraid of breathing underwater or just being underwater period. What most people are really scared of are some of their unexplored inner worlds.
For me, the ocean is this amazing space of being, expansion, weightlessness, flow, and abundance. Being in the ocean while scuba diving is one of the most potent forms of meditation for me; it allows me to connect to the being I really am. I become one with the ocean and all its colorful life. What would it take for you to explore this place within you, where you can let go of everything and completely be in the present moment, without doing anything? Drifting, floating, being carried by the water, and opening up your perception to the beauty surrounding you? The breathing slows you down, you breathe slowly and deeply underwater, and the absolute silence allows you to access a sensation of peace and calm like it is rarely encountered naturally on land.
We offer you a dive experience that goes deeper than what the tourist industry sells. We will facilitate a space where you can dive deep, into the ocean and into more awareness about yourself and your life. How does it get any better than this?
During a 10- day dive trip, I will be your guide on land and underwater. You know in advance whom you will learn diving with. We take our time to develop dive skills and, enjoy relaxing, exploring the island, and discovering the local culture.
Our groups are limited to 5 participant,s so we can adapt to whatever is needed for our guests to receive precisely what they wish. Dive courses will be held in German, French, or English.
The Marine National Park on Mafia Island Tanzania is a rare dive gem in the Indian Ocean. The visibility is not as great as in the Red Sea but the variety of marine life you get to explore is impressive.

During my diving training to become a PADI Open Water Diver, I was already allowed to make the most beautiful encounters underwater. Thank you Sharon Makana that I had you as my instructor. You taught me how to dive perfectly and also showed me a special view of the underwater world.
Nothing has to be hectic, everything may be accepted in deep calm and with respect. How nice it would be if there were many more of these divers who explore the underwater world in peace and harmony and accept everything as a gift. There is no need for "hectic" combat divers who are on the hunt for as many photos as possible.
Immersion in the underwater world is magical and gives me the opportunity to arrive completely with myself. To be completely in the moment, just me and the bubbles. Only what is right in front of me. Not thinking about what else there might be to see, or what absolutely wants to be seen.
The training by Sharon was unique. Every exercise that had to be done in the pool or in the sea was discussed in detail beforehand and questions were answered in an understandable way. So nothing was left unanswered. Initial excitement was thus transformed into calmness.
In the water the exercises were demonstrated with very exact and precise steps. Every hand signal and every sequence of movements was clearly demonstrated. Sharon perceived every slightest excitement and immediately restored calm. I felt confident at all times.
By learning all the skills, I always knew how to help myself, which allowed me to always find my way back to calm. Sharon put a lot of emphasis on making sure all exercises were done correctly and accurately. Corrections were pointed out and debriefed. Safety is Sharon's absolute priority. This was evident at all times.
Sharon cares a lot about staying calm underwater and not "swashing around" and acting frantically. It helped me a lot that Sharon taught me how to float calmly and also pointed it out every now and then. Calm movements result in less air being used, fewer animals being shooed, and help for your own calmness and safety.
I can only recommend the training by Sharon.🙏
