Offered in: Portuguese and 2 more

Freediving is about moving through the water on a single breath, in a calm and controlled way.

If you’ve never tried it before, this experience gives you a simple introduction to the basics. You’ll learn breathing techniques, how to equalize, and how to move comfortably underwater.

After a short briefing, you go into the ocean to practice in real conditions. At your own pace, you’ll have the chance to experience short dives and feel what it’s like to glide underwater using only your breath.

Sessions usually take you to depths around 5 meters, depending on your comfort.

A relaxed and safe way to discover freediving in the clear waters of Pico Island, Azores.

What to expect

Curious about diving on a single breath but never tried it before? This one-day experience is designed as a simple and safe introduction to freediving in the Azores.

You’ll learn the basic concepts used by recreational freedivers, including how the body reacts underwater, breathing techniques, and how to equalize comfortably. The session includes practice of static breath-hold and basic diving techniques such as constant weight and free immersion.

After a short briefing, we move to the ocean, where you’ll apply what you’ve learned in real conditions, always at your own pace and within a safe depth range.

The experience takes place along the volcanic coastline of Pico Island, where clear Atlantic waters and lava formations create a unique and natural environment for your first dives.

No previous experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to explore the water.
