Bathysmed Int'l "Dive & get rid of stress"

13/11/2025

Today is a special day for many people in France. It has now been 10 years since the Paris attacks.
And yet, from this chaos, a great deal of hope was born.

Bathysmed pays tribute to the direct and indirect victims 💙 of November 13th.
May this day be one of shared love, support, and resilience.

Between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., France 2 will broadcast a beautiful concert that I invite you all to watch. The emotions will be intense.

We would also like to thank the association Life for Paris: 13 November 2015, thanks to whom (and together with other structures such as FAVT, IRBA, AP-HP, AP-HM) the DivHope study on post-traumatic stress was born.

From there, the Bathysmed protocol was tested — a program that now helps many people living with psychological suffering, as well as individuals like you and me who simply need to learn to better navigate life’s challenges.

Without the courage of the survivors, their active participation in the study, their humanity, and their resilience, we would have missed something truly meaningful.

All our love to everyone, our deepest support — may this day celebrate resilience in all its beauty. 💙💙💙💙💙

For those who want to see and hear something incredible...Watch this choir for the commemoration day on the French TV replay France 2...

Quote of the day!

“The Bathysmed diver is like an archer: he does not pull back the bowstring of his mind, he relaxes it so that the arrow flies straight.”

🌊 New Scientific Publication! 🧠✨

We’re proud to announce that a new peer-reviewed study has just been published about the Bathysmed protocol!
📖 “A combined diving and mindfulness program as a catalyst for behavioural change in adults with obesity: a qualitative study.”

see the publication HERE : https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/10.1080/17482631.2025.2571942?url_ver=Z39.88-2003&rfr_id=ori:rid:crossref.org&rfr_dat=cr_pub%20%200pubmed

This research highlights how the unique combination of scuba diving and mindfulness can foster deep behavioral transformation, helping participants reconnect with their bodies, improve self-perception, and develop healthier habits — both in and out of the water.

🌐 Developed in France and validated through several clinical studies, Bathysmed continues to bridge the gap between science, mental health, and the ocean.
