About this listen

Just Breathe is a calm, reflective journey beneath the surface—where scuba diving becomes more than a skill and transforms into a way of understanding fear, leadership, and trust.

Written and lived by Divemaster Michael Shanks, this audiobook is not a technical manual or a checklist of certifications. Instead, it explores what happens when people slow down, focus on their breath, and learn to move through uncertainty—both underwater and in life.

Through real stories of students, mentors, family, and personal moments in the water, Just Breathe examines how calm is taught, how confidence is built, and why true leadership often looks quieter than we expect. From anxious first breaths to stewardship of the underwater world, each chapter reflects the power of patience, presence, and responsibility.

This audiobook is for divers, instructors, leaders, parents, and anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed and needed a reminder that progress doesn’t come from rushing—it comes from breathing.

Grounded, thoughtful, and deeply human, Just Breathe invites you to slow down, listen closely, and discover what the water has been teaching all along.
