Sessions

A first descent, calm and fully supervised.

You have never freedived. You want to try, without overthinking it. This session introduces conscious breathing, muscular relaxation, and your first metres of depth in a controlled setting.

No performance, no stopwatch. Just learning to find the quiet underwater, feeling weightless, and rediscovering that breathing is a subtler act than it seems.
