Freediving? What is that, can I dive for free?
No you can not dive for free! But you learn to dive without scuba gear, which makes you feel free.
Freediving is quite a new sport, but actually it is the oldest way of diving. Freediving is the most natural way to experience the magnificent underwater world, swimming freely, silently and allowing you to get much closer to marine life without disturbing it dan scuba diving.
Yoga classes included
Whenever you feel like it you can attend the yoga classes. Because we feel you benefit from doing yoga, helps you to learn to control your breading, we include 2 sessions per week.
