If you are a certified freediver, let's dive the best spots in Riviera Maya!

Where We do it

Tulum, the pearl of the Riviera Maya

The cenotes, clear and tranquil freshwater sinkholes alongside the gorgeous Caribbean Sea, make Tulum an unparalleled setting for learning and improving as a freediver. That’s what we call a freediving utopia!

Freediving Tulum Cenotes

Our Values

We strive to provide you with the experience that's right for you

peace

Recreational freediving is a fantastic practice for enhancing your life and well-being. Without the pressure to perform or compete, you get to focus on the joy of being underwater.  

When you approach your dives in a relaxed state, your perception of time changes and a sense of peace envelops you. As your start diving deeper, you’ll become more confident about yourself and how much you can achieve with just one breath.

Over time, that confidence instills you with a serenity that helps you become more aware of your body and your surroundings to better deal with everyday stress. 

Freedom

Though the prospect of breath-holding may sound daunting, there is nothing like the freedom of being at ease underwater. Of course, we approach both the ocean and the cenotes with the utmost respect, but we lead with curiosity instead of fear.

Because we know how exhilarating, liberating, and empowering freediving can be, we love guiding our students’ journeys to becoming safe, independent freedivers.

To encourage and facilitate freediving as a lifelong activity, we created a public and shareable map for you to find buddies, centers and instructors all over the world.

Trust these reviews! Esteban definitely earns all 5 stars! He is a great instructor, and is wonderful at individualizing tips for each student. As a yogi, I appreciated his calm demeanor. His energy has a relaxing effect, which serves to help you if you are a new diver. I hope to return to learn more from him!

Incredible experience diving with Esteban. Couldn't recommend him enough if you're looking to do some diving in Tulum. He has an incredible depth of knowledge and helped me work out some things I've been struggling with. Very fair price and an incredibly nice guy to learn from.

This was my first time freediving and I absolutely loved it. I signed up for the level one course with no experience and felt safe the whole time. Esteban is a great instructor who walks through the techniques very carefully and provides great real time feedback in the process. He’s extremely patient and encouraging. If you’ve always wanted to try freediving I highly recommend freedive Utopia.

Esteban is world class. My wife and I had a great experience with him in the cenote. We gained a lot of practical knowledge from him and we are better divers after working with him. He truly embodies the concepts that he’s teaching.

Je recommande vivement Esteban comme instructeur. Il explique les différentes techniques avec calme et patience. Il décompose les exercices plus complexes pour les rendre accessibles. Il reconnaît nos erreurs ce qui nous permet de progresser rapidement. En plus le cadre est incroyable ! De l'initiation en Cenote plutôt qu'en piscine, le rêve ! Merci beaucoup Esteban pour ton cours de qualité !

We came to Tulum and did freediving for a day in two different cenotes with Esteban. Amazing day where we saw tarpons, a crab, some beautiful birds and also the local cenote’s crocodile! On the day we were also able to go back to our best level after 5 years not training, because Esteban is very knowledgeable on technique and spent a lot of time fixing our issues and perfecting our dives. Great day overall, thanks Esteban!

Where should I start… Always amazing!! Started Freediving with Esteban in February, a dream I had for couple of years already. Didn‘t disappoint. Was in a group of 3 students, first you start the day with some theory and then, you go to the most beautiful cenotes. All of the students felt safe and cared of at any time. Esteban takes the meaning of teaching to the next level. He knows best what you need to do, to improve and achieve freediving goals. Meditation, breathwork and some yoga techniques were part of the course aswell, opened my horizon in that perspective, and I never felt so relaxed like after Freediving. After Feb. I went back to Tulum, in August. Just. for. Freediving. With. Esteban. Went out for another 6 Training Sessions, during 11 days of my stay (watch out, freediving is exhausting, plan the days to rest your body) and I achieved more than I wished for. Esteban is exceptional in reading the students and gives precise advise. If you trust yourself, and trust Esteban, you will achieve anything. Esteban got me hooked into Freediving, and made me from a rookie to a Freediver with a Personal best of -33m in a total of 10 days in the water. If you ever want to get into Freediving, Freedive Utopia is the place to go. Most beautiful Environment, Best Teacher and amazing experience. Left Tulum with a new passion and more than that, with a new Friendship. Gracias Hermano I‘ll be back! sos el mejor

Went on a fun freedive with Freedive Utopia at Angelita Cenoté. My wife and I are already PADI freedivers but we learnt so much more from Esteban about polishing our techniques and skills. Esteban has exceptional teaching skills and is very intuitive to what level you’re at with freediving and an innate intuition of what you’re capable of achieving. Angelita Cenoté was a great choice to dive, deep enough, very picturesque, not too busy and even has a resident crocodile for amusement. Highly recommend Freedive Utopia for anyone wanting to learn or polish their freediving skills.

My husband and myself booked a training session with Esteban, both of us level one and two freedivers with minimal experience. He was absolutely fantastic, very thorough with his explanation on the exact techniques to make a safe and effective dive. We both learnt how to start the dive, descend down the line with free emersion, turn at the bottom and ascend, feeling easier as we practiced. This was the best training I had ever had and Esteban was very patient with both of us. We both did PBs of 20 and 21.3m and by the end of the session felt very comfortable. The cenote was perfect. Well done Esteban, you are a legend and thank you soo much for your kind and caring teaching. Wendy and Jeff from Australia
