What is free-diving?
Free-diving is a diving technique where the diver takes a deep breath at the surface, then dives and resurfaces while holding their breath.
What will we learn?
- Free-diving is based on relaxation, breath control, and body awareness.
- Practicing apnea and breathing techniques in the pool boosts confidence when swimming in the sea.
- It’s a unique experience and an opportunity to try something new and escape from the hectic pace of everyday life.
The event is supported by Garnier.
We look forward to seeing you!
