    • Hi Kelly! Indeed, scuba diving is a great sport. Good to hear that you believe it’s a good stress reliever! It makes sense as controlling your breathing is essential to scuba dive, and there are numerous techniques, which are also recommended in stress management! Thanks for sharing your thoughts here!
