FREEDIVING
Freediving is the art of diving on breath-hold.
For thousands of years, freediving has been a tool for people to hunt and gather.
Freediving is a skill we all have but we need to discover first our potential in order to be able to use it.
Freediving is also a fast-growing sport surprising us regularly with what humans are capable of.
Freediving allows you to look from a very different and unique perspective at yourself, and enables you to interact very naturally with water and acuatic wildlife.
Tenerife has excellent conditions for freediving, water temperatures between 18-24 degrees and usually underwater visibility from 15-40m!
There are many reasons why you might want to learn how to freedive...

Freediving is about inner power, discipline and control. If you've always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath will allow... then this course is for you.

The practical part of the course lasts 2 days. The full course is priced at 300€ and includes learning materials, equipment, dive insurance, all practical training and (after completing all requirements) PADI Freediver certification.
