What's Inlcuded:
Introduction to the world of freediving
A 45-minute workshop teaches you the basic skills to start freediving safely, comfortably and enjoyably.
Relaxation and breathing exercises to help you hold your breath comfortably for longer.
The geeky bit – the science of how your body adapts to being underwater on breath-hold.
Pool practice and skills development
Guided by coach Nathan, you’ll get to test your breath-hold and develop the skills to glide underwater with proper freediver technique and style.
Static breath-hold session: where you'll see how long you can hold your breath underwater comfortably without moving.
Dynamic apnea session: you'll be shown how to swim up to 25m or more on a single breath hold.
We'll take care of the extras
To freedive in the pool, you only need a swimsuit, goggles, learner fins and weights. We'll lend you fins and weights, you bring the rest. If you have a wetsuit, bonus – bring that too!

Get in touch
We're here to help. Drop us a message to ask any questions or to learn about available dates, and book. Just think, soon you could experience
the feeling of flying underwater on a single breath. Exciting, isn't it?
We are currently offering our pool freediving experience in Carmarthen, South Wales. More locations coming soon. After booking, we will send you all the information you need.
Our freediving experience typically runs monthly on a Friday evening from 7.30 to 9.30 pm alongside our freedive training class.
The great thing about freediving is that barely any equipment is needed! As you progress, you will have a kit wish list, but fancy fins and masks aren't essential at the beginning. All you will need for this course is a swimsuit and goggles, and we'll take care of the rest. If you have a wetsuit, bonus – bring that too.
As an introduction to freediving, you won't be required to meet specific requirements necessary for formal certification. This allows you to explore, learn, and play without any pressure. After the course, you'll get invited to join our classes, where we'll take you through advanced freediving theory and practical skills week by week, and before you know it you'll be ready to complete a formal certification. Any divers who don't live locally can attend our weekend courses to advance their skills and knowledge, allowing them to achieve certifications for freediving in pools and open water worldwide.
We understand that things come up. If you can't make your chosen date after booking, you'll be offered an alternative date within three months of your original booking or a refund. Unless otherwise agreed by the team, you will receive a full refund for up to four weeks' notice, a 50% refund for up to two weeks' notice, and 25% for anything less than that.
