Freediving, also known as breath-hold diving, is a discipline that allows you to dive deep on a single breath of air. It is important to obtain a freediving certification to learn how to dive safely and confidently wherever you are.

Some of the benefits of receiving professional freediving training include:

  • Learn how to hold your breath comfortably

  • Explore the underwater world on a single breath

  • Discover your breath-holding potential

  • Experience the meditative benefits of breath work

Freediving is an incredible way to explore the underwater world, as you immerse yourself into the quiet depths and explore natural caves and limestone formations. The mental element of freediving introduces calmness and meditation into your practice, allowing for a transformative experience as you begin to feel why the local cenotes were revered as sacred sites by the Mayans.
