Dr. VonGunten's training tips:

Dive healthy - Always take steps to reduce the risk of illness while
traveling. Diver's Boost is the leading dive supplement, designed for a
diver's physiology, reduce illness, and optimize performance while diving.

Plan - Plan your dive and dive your plan. Research your dive locations before you get there, focus on the environment and the depths to be able to properly set up your plan. Once you have your dream dive set up make sure you have the equipment ready to go, including any new gear you may need to order or pick up.

Training - Always train properly for what you are planning. Try to focus on your cardio exercises before going on a dive trip, cardio = endurance which translates into more energy for diving and travel. Ideal training should start 1 month or more prior to the trip, to make sure you are in optimal shape to enjoy it.

Diver's Boost Training Program - 30 days prior to dive trip start Diver's Boost training dose at 1 capsule twice daily. Consult with your physician and then begin a good cardio routine. Continue with cardio exercises as directed by your physician and/or personal trainer adding in some moderate weight training for the last 2 weeks to prepare you for handling your equipment. You need to at least be able to move around your own tank without getting hurt. After 1 month you will be in better shape to enjoy your dive trip, and your body will be more oxygen efficient. Diver's Boost will have helped you get into peak diving condition.

*When following the training program you will start with a bottle of 90 capsules that will last during the 30 day training period and a 15 day trip window. We always recommend regular exercise for our staff to stay dive ready all year round but we always make sure we are prepared for the big trips. Especially the boss when he does his Shark dives in the Bahamas. A training dose daily of Diver's Boost throughout the year will keep you dive ready and healthy to follow your passion.
