| dc.description.abstract | Recreational cave diving experience during leisure can enhance overall well-being in life. The purpose of this study was to explore scuba divers' experiences on recreational cave diving, with a focus on well-being. We conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with recreational cave divers (total N = 12). We employed a theoretical thematic analysis guided by Seligman's five domains of well-being (PERMA; [P]ositive emotions, [E]ngagement, [R]elationships, [M]eaning, and [A]ccomplishment) conjunction with positivity resonance theory and flow concept. The analysis resulted in a synthesis of the various ways divers experienced happiness, fulfillment, and flourishing through positive emotions, co-experienced positive affect, relationships, engagement, flow, meaning, and accomplishment. Themes that reflect positive experiences are important to recreational cave diving and the broader context of leisure. | en_US |
