Never tried freediving before? This discovery session is your gateway. Experience what it feels like to hold your breath underwater in a safe, supportive setting.
Breath Coaching

Why Freediving?
Freediving is more than a sport; it's a journey inward. With nothing but a single breath, you'll discover a profound sense of calm, push past mental barriers, and experience the underwater world in its purest form. Here's what draws people to freediving:
Mental clarity and meditation
The focus required to freedive creates a meditative state that carries into everyday life, reducing stress and sharpening your mind
Physical transformation
Develop breath control, lung capacity, and core strength while improving your overall fitness and body awareness
Connection with the ocean
Experience marine life up close without the noise and bubbles of scuba gear, moving through the water as naturally as the creatures around you
Overcome limitations
Challenge what you thought possible as you learn to hold your breath longer and dive deeper than you ever imagined

Item description
-
Absolutely. Most beginners start around 30-45 seconds and are surprised how quickly they progress. Freediving is more about relaxation and technique than lung capacity—we'll teach you both.
-
Freediving uses no equipment except mask and fins—just a single breath. It's quieter, more intimate with marine life, and focuses heavily on breath control and mental discipline. Scuba uses tanks and lets you stay down longer.
