Introductory Courses

In our Discover Freediving Courses you will get to know and love freediving under the professional guidance of our instructors. They focus on the basic techniques of this fascinating sport and give you, in a safe environment, a first feeling for your enormous potential under water. You can choose between PADI - the world's leading diver training organization - with their Confined Water course in a pool and Apnea Total - an organization purely dedicated to freediving - with their Open Water course in a Cenote.
