To enjoy freediving, you need to learn how to stay safe while doing so. Ensuring that you do is our top priority.

fun

If you love water, you will love freediving! We will help you to approach it with an open, child-like mindset to ensure intuitive learning.

personalized

Private and semi-private experiences will help you to further develop your skills and get more out of your time in the water.

Although many see freediving as unearthly, our guidance is clear and practical. We tailor each session to meet the individual needs and goals of each participant, ensuring that everyone leaves with a sense of accomplishment.

We teach and stand by the Apnea Total education system. We believe its philosophy captures the essence of freediving: Always listen to your body and dive within your limits.

At Freedive Utopia, we prioritize your well-being and experience: the only certification requirements are related to safety, and the only measure of success is the smile on your face when you surface!

Certification Courses

Freediver Course

This is the only course you'll need to become a competent, independent freediver. You'll learn the necessary techniques to dive to depths of up to 21 meters (70 feet).

Course duration: 2-3 days.

Prerequisites: must be able to independently swim 200 meters (660 feet) across with or without fins.

Certification requirement: Perform an underwater rescue from 6-10 meters (20-33 feet) of depth.

Minimum age: 15 years.

Advanced freediver Course

Approaching depths of up to 35 meters (115 feet) necessitates long breath-holds, so we'll start with a Static Apnea day in shallow waters and gradually introduce depth with exhale dives. You will learn about the mammalian diving response and how to use it in your favor to achieve longer and deeper dives.

Course duration: 3-4 days.
