the story
FLY DEEPER ALMA MATER
The Alma Mater of Aquatic Healing has been at the forefront of global training programs dedicated to aquatic bodywork and healing modalities since its inception in 2009.
Our unique journey began in the cradle of aquatic wonder, the Dead Sea, and its therapeutic hot springs, where the mineral-enriched waters and surreal landscapes served as our initial canvas. These natural blessings bestowed us with extraordinary buoyancy, sparking the inception of our training programs. Over the years, we’ve carefully crafted signature elements of aquatic bodywork and a distinct style that set us apart in the realm of healing modalities.
As we’ve expanded our reach, our commitment to delivering excellence in aquatic bodywork and holistic healing has taken us across countries and continents.
We invite you to join our community of seekers, healers, and visionaries who share in the profound and transformative practice of aquatic bodywork. At Fly Deeper, we empower you to explore the depths of your own potential, to heal and be healed, and to make a lasting impact in the world of aquatic healing. Welcome to a journey that transcends boundaries and immerses you in the art of holistic healing through the therapeutic embrace of water.
the name
FLY DEEPER
“Fly Deeper” the name was born to encapsulate an experience that renders one speechless- in the water session, there is a distinct feeling of being weightless that offers a genuine sense of freedom in your body.
While you find yourself effortlessly discovering internal landscapes of your soul, deepening into inner fields of yourself that usually are not accessible, and therefore Fly Deeper is a short expression of what could be barely described in a novel.
ALMA MATER
“Alma Mater” is a term rooted in antiquity encompassing various forms of higher and post-secondary education. In Latin, it translates to “Nourishing Mother.” An archetype that resonates profoundly with the realm of water therapy, the heart of Fly Deeper.
The Founder, Ofer Rosenthal, fluent in three Latin languages and a graduate of an esteemed Alma Mater institution, found this term to perfectly encapsulate the essence of our school.
Much like a nurturing mother provides sustenance and care, our school, Alma Mater, is committed to providing the nourishment, knowledge, and support needed for our students to flourish and grow. This embodies the spirit of our institution and the profound connection we share with the healing power of water, making it a name that truly speaks to the heart of what we do.

the epiphany
“During my studies in psychology and special education, I was researching a way to create a genuine trustful connection with others that transcends beyond the spoken word of the classic methods, leaning to nonverbal communication and its subtle yet meaningful messages; along the time, I was practicing freediving, immersing into a deeper connection with myself, my spirit and nature.
I was sent through the University to study a seminar about Dolphin assisted therapies in the Reef of Eilat; during that seminar, one faithful full moon night, I was invited to experience a water session; in that session, l surpassed for the first time my consciousness I felt a profound dissolution of self. That full moon night, life made more sense; as I sat to integrate in front of the sea and its mountains, life revealed a deeper sense of purpose, and I knew that this was what I am destined to share with the world.”
