In this New Year’s episode of Tech Diving On Air, host Tamara shares three practical tips to help you achieve your goals — from using visualization to make them real and attainable, to understanding the resources your dreams require, and intentionally making time to pursue them.

Tamara also looks back on the biggest highlights of 2025: launching this very podcast (800 listens, 160 subscribers, 6 episodes!), traveling to Diving Talks Portugal to connect with explorers and creators, committing to a meaningful fitness journey, continuing the Vanilla Farm exploration project with Jack Cleary into its second year, growing a small cave-diving business with the support of students and friends, and completing GUE Fundamentals with Ivo from Third Dimension — a challenging, eye-opening class that helped debunk myths about GUE culture, highlighted flexibility in training, and deepened her understanding of procedures shaped by GUE methodology.

She also reflects on the year’s biggest challenges — adapting long-built muscle memory, managing mental and physical fatigue after months of teaching, and being pushed (in a good way!) by GUE’s outstanding and detailed e-learning platform.

Just when she thought the year was over… a brand-new, last-minute project appeared — and she’s hopping on a plane to join it. Which leads to a bonus fourth tip: recognize opportunity, grab it when it arrives, and do what it takes to learn from it.

Happy New Year — and see you in 2026! Thanks for listening.
