First Freediving Experience
Come discover freediving through a guided session designed to gently introduce you to the sport. You’ll be guided by a certified freediving instructor certified by the AIDA, SSI, and FFESSM federations. You’ll enjoy a session in a small group (maximum 4 students per buoy).

No boat = less seasickness, low environmental impact.
In freediving, you’re free! No tank on your back, just the joy, the connection to the water and to yourself.
Discover breathing techniques and different freediving disciplines—come experience the well-being of freediving, in complete safety!

- Introductory Freediving Session in Villefranche-sur-Mer
