Our intention for this freedive camp is to balance ocean connection and personal accomplishment while providing a safe and effective learning environment. Our experienced instructors are all trained in much more than just freediving- they come from varied backgrounds that add value to their teaching style.
This freedive camp is for ANYONE interested in learning about freediving and sparking some intrinsic motivation. Don’t be shy. Absolute beginners are encouraged to join.
We pride ourselves on creating an environment in which students can positively navigate their expectations and overcome obstacles. We do not solely focus on depth and time, but instead on the powerful mental benefits the sport brings.
What Will You Learn?
In this free dive camp, we focus on balancing freediving training and progression with relaxation and mindset techniques:
Learn techniques to handle daily stress, improve sleep and manage expectations.
Fine-tune freediving skills such as finning, body positioning, and equalization.
Implementing strategies to move through learning obstacles, both in freediving and in life.
During this camp, students have the option to join drop-in yoga classes at local yoga schools. Private group-led meditation and breathwork sessions are also provided, arming students with practices to take with them. The program also ensures a comfortable and luxurious accommodation option to recharge and energize.
We focus on a safe and comfortable learning environment where students can progress at their own pace and take the most away from the experience. While freediving courses are largely marketed as “certifications,” we believe the end result is being as comfortable as possible in the water, not just attaining a depth or goal. We do not yet have the ambitions nor the facilities to offer competitive free dive training, and instead plan to expand “out'“ (with a Canadian accent) rather than “down.” This expansion will include retreat offerings, surf survival, dedicated yoga and meditation classes, and conservation freediving.
This camp was set up to appeal to more independent travelers that wanted to either save a few bucks or have some more time to themselves. While much of the freediving curriculum is the same as our other retreats, there are less additional workshops included. We also do not provide lunches or dinners during the freediving camp, and the yoga classes are not private and are not on site. This camp is perfect for those who want to improve their freediving skills and stay in a comfortable accommodation while they do so.
Yes! The camp is a perfect way for people to learn freediving. Its structured enough to provide added benefit to a regular freediving course, and includes opportunities to dive deeper into yoga, meditation and breathwork. We also take care of the accommodation and transport so guest can focus on learning and progressing.
