Is Freediving a safe sport?

Freediving is a relatively safe sport when practised under proper supervision and following safety protocols. The body has natural adaptations for breath-holding — a certified course teaches you to use them correctly.

Accidents happen because of lack of proper training and education. Always check your instructor's certification. Ask questions about their actual teaching experience so that you will know that you are in safe with them.

How often you are holding the courses?

We have a team of instructors and start courses nearly every day. Just send us a message and choose dates the most convenient for you.
