About

One simple question.

Mindful Diving™ began with a single question: what if every dive left people better than it found them? Not a slower dive, not a stranger one — the same dive, held with more attention.

The World Happiness Foundation

Mindful Diving™ is an initiative of the World Happiness Foundation, in consultative status with the United Nations ECOSOC. The Foundation's mission is global: to advance the science and practice of happiness and wellbeing, aligned here with SDG 3 (Good Health & Wellbeing) and SDG 14 (Life Below Water).
