Freediving
Freediving is a liberating activity. It allows us to experiment with the weightless sensation in the water as if you are flying, a joy that feels like entering another reality. Let your mind fly without restrictions and connect to the here and now. Freediving is about exploring our natural capacities, developing a balanced state with our environment, seeing the underwater world with our own eyes, and at the same time diving deep inside ourselves.

FREEDIVING COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Relaxation stands out from the treasures that offer this activity, allowing us to achieve a present state to transform each breath into unique experiences. Although all of this sounds like knowledge reserved for athletes, Yogis, or enlightened people, the truth is that it is more of a recreational activity than an extreme one, which means that “everybody can practice and enjoy it.” This way, the real challenge here is to learn to live life one breath at a time.
Our freediving Courses
As we already said, you don’t need superhuman skills to be practicing freediving. You need a few basic skills and knowledge, such as learning how to relax your mind and body, equalize your ears, and get the best use of your equipment. In our educational programs, you can learn this step by step and develop the skills necessary to enjoy this activity safely. Discover the wonders of this sport by living the Freedive Baja Experience, learning the foundations of the sport at our basic levels, or learning how to improve your abilities with our Advanced Level Courses.
Every course consists of three main phases:
- Knowledge development about free diving principles. This happens through independent study that is followed by a classroom session.
- A confined water session to learn breath-hold techniques. At the same time, we teach you static and dynamic apnea.
- Open water sessions to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives.
