A Freediving Introduction for Beginners

Freediving is not simply about holding your breath and going underwater.

It is an activity that involves learning to understand your body, breathing and sensations in the water. A beginner freediving course or introduction is a great way to gradually become familiar with these sensations and learn the fundamentals of the discipline.

During your first session, the goal is not performance. Instead, you will learn to become comfortable in the water, discover the basic principles of freediving and experience what it feels like to move underwater while holding your breath.

The session is designed to be accessible to beginners, with progressive guidance throughout the experience.

Why Try Freediving?

Freediving offers a completely different way of experiencing the underwater world.

It can help you develop breathing awareness, relaxation, body control and concentration. But beyond the technical aspects, freediving can also provide an incredible feeling of freedom and calmness underwater.

A discovery session is also the perfect way to find out whether you enjoy freediving before deciding to take a more structured beginner freediving course.

You don't need to be an experienced freediver. This session is designed specifically to help you discover the activity.

What Happens During a Freediving Discovery Session?

Your experience begins with a meeting at 1:30 PM in La Ciotat.

After an introduction and explanation of the session, you will be provided with the equipment you need. You will then be guided progressively through your first freediving experience.

The aim is not to chase depth or performance during your first session. The priority is to discover freediving, understand the sensations and build confidence in the water.

The session lasts approximately 3 hours, giving you enough time to discover the activity without rushing.

Do I Need to Be an Experienced Swimmer?

Freediving takes place in the water, so you should be comfortable in an aquatic environment.

However, no previous freediving experience is required to take part in the discovery session.

If you are unsure whether your swimming ability is suitable, feel free to contact ABYSS Garden before booking.
