Freediving & Apnea Courses in Mexico

Freediving is the most natural form of diving. It’s also known as Apnea or the skill of holding your breath underwater while performing various activities. This is the perfect sport for those who like to feel the freedom from equipment underwater and challenge natural human inhibitions and limitations.

Just like any other adventure sports, Freediving also requires us to understand some critical information before we jump head first into it!

This time is important for essential transfer of knowledge and open communication between the students and our instructors.
