Who am I ?

Zoé Dufour

A lifelong lover of water...

I began my aquatic journey in a swimming pool, far from the coast. Starting out as a toddler in armbands and later as a competitive swimmer, it wasn’t until my teenage years that I first encountered the ocean’s waves.

Much later, I put on a mask and saw the world beneath the sea’s surface for the first time. The tiles of the chlorinated swimming pool gave way to the fish of the salty Mediterranean Sea.

And finally… Freediving came along. I was swimming with a monofin on the surface, in pools, the sea or lakes, and I was invited to do the same beneath the surface, holding my breath. Since then, she and I have been inseparable. I submerge and resurface, transformed, at peace.

Today, I wish to share all the benefits that water and breathing bring me. I am truly convinced that water is a source of transformation and escape, helping us to rediscover ourselves.

My Certifications:

  • BPJEPS Freediving (French state certification)
  • AIDA Instructor
  • SSI Instructor
  • FFESSM Instructor

Driven by a desire to make the natural marine environment accessible to everyone, I continue to pursue training in Health and Adapted Sports so that I can develop a socially responsible business model aligned with my passion.

I had the opportunity to work at the renowned Bluenery Academy freediving school, founded by multiple world champion and native of the Villefranche-sur-Mer harbor, Guillaume Néry. I trained and learned from several renowned instructors; these experiences enriched me with knowledge and teaching skills.
