Program Highlights
Morning Sessions – Open Water Training
Every morning we focus on Basic Training Sessions. Sessions are adapted to the level of each diver and may include wonstant weight technique, free immersion technique, equalization practice, depth progression, dive relaxation and efficiency, personal coaching and feedback.
Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where divers can safely progress while building confidence and consistency.
Fundive Day – A Break From Training
During the week we include a special fundive day.
This day is designed to take a break from structured training and focus on enjoying the ocean together.
Depending on conditions and the group level, the day may include diving from a boat or exploring new dive spots, diving from shore with a short hike or scenic viewpoint, relaxed social dives, underwater photos and videos, dinner stop at a local restaurant.
The goal is simple: enjoy freediving without pressure and create memorable moments together.
Pool Technique Session
Pool sessions allow us to focus on technique and efficiency in a controlled environment.
Possible session formats include, underwater technique filming and analysis, dynamic apnea training, static apnea tables, kick/stroke efficiency improvements.
These sessions are also a great introduction to structured apnea training methods.
Equalization Workshop
A structured workshop focused on one of the most important freediving skills: equalization.
The session includes practical exercises of Frenzel vs Valsalva techniques, controlled glottis and pressure management, mouthfill exercises, practical exercises using tools such as EQ training device.
This workshop is especially useful for divers who struggle with equalization or want to refine their technique.

Dry sessions focus on training methods that improve freediving performance outside the water.
Activities may include static apnea training, apnea walks, visualization techniques for diving, free immersion technique practice using training tools.
These sessions help divers develop mental control, breath-hold capacity, and efficient movement patterns.
