GOALS

This five-day TOP PLONGEE method PRACTITIONER training aims to help you discover the basics of the method and then allow you to apply them in the context of your diving activities in simple situations and in the area of 20 meters.

Like any sportsman, the diver must be aware of the importance of continuing to progress in order to improve the safety and quality of his dives.

The TOP Diving method provides concrete and practical work elements to continue to progress and optimize your training sessions and your dives.
 

It combines diving exercises with breathing techniques, neuroscience, mental/physical preparation and video analysis adapted to diving to allow:

-Divers to improve the quality and safety of their dives

-To the supervisors to bring a plus in the quality of their training but also to ensure better support for divers.

TEACHING METHOD

Theoretical and didactic contributions supported by video analysis of "typical" situations and practical exercises allow participants to familiarize themselves with the mental preparation techniques of the "TOP diving" method.

The originality of the method is based on the fact that the participants learn the techniques in practical situations specific to the activity.

The practical sessions will be designed and implemented by the trainees according to the needs encountered in the field.

The techniques covered will be experienced in practical (simulated) diving situations. Each participant will in turn play the role of experimenter and observer.

After the verification of skills in the form of crumbs in a practical situation, a TOP DIVING PRACTITIONER certificate will be issued at the end of the course.

TEACHING MEANS AND MATERIALS

Classroom, video projector, computer equipped with Kinovea video software and Gopro camera to film work sequences in the water.

For the dives, blocks, weights and boat transport are included in the cost of the training and provided by the Cap Cerbère diving center.

Each trainee brings his own diving equipment and ensures that it is suitable for deep diving.

  If you are missing equipment, you can rent it at the dive center (see prices on their website: https://www.plongee-cap-cerbere.com )

TRAINING PROGRAM

​

5 days of indoor and outdoor training (weather permitting)
3 days for those who have already followed one of my interventions during DEJEPS – CC or Recycling training at CREPS Montpellier.)
 

NEUROSCIENCE
 

Sciences that study the functioning of the nervous system and particularly the brain.

Contributions in neuroscience (simplified as much as possible to promote understanding regardless of school level and age):

• Better understand how the brain works

• Differences in Primitive/Diver brain functioning

• What strategies to put in place to improve the adaptation of our brain to the "diving" environment
 

BREATHING
 

Element announced as essential by all divers but rarely worked on and/or integrated into the planning….

• Better understand the mechanical and neurological functioning of respiration

• Differences in operation of Automatic/Dive breathing

• Learn Controlled Breathing

• Incorporate breathing into simple diving situations
 

COMBINED MENTAL/PHYSICAL PREPARATION

Optimize the management of the emotional brain through the conscious brain integrating mental work also in the physical preparation of the diver.

What training techniques to integrate into the physical work of the diver.

• Work on sensations

• Concentration work, routines.

• Release and relaxation techniques

• Breathing Techniques

VIDEO ANALYSIS

How, when, why to use video to improve awareness,
Video analysis is not only used to improve technique but also
optimize, objective analysis of dives Integrate and use video

​

• When to use video

• Interest of the video in the different phases of the dive

• Learn to film according to the objective

• Learn to use video analysis software

VERIFICATION OF ACQUISITIONS AND CERTIFICATES

Practical simulation with resolution of a situation

Final evaluation in the form of role plays with concrete diving situations.

Critical self-analysis of interventions with video support.

Review of interventions and training.
