Can I dive if I have a cold ?

It's ok if it is light. However, it is not the best time to freedive if you have a heavy runny nose or cold. This can make equalizing difficult and painful.

Can I rent freediving gear?

Yes, but keep in mind that most of our gear is designed for scuba diving. However, we also use it during freediving trips.

Will the water be cold?

Yes, the water is cold, make sure you will have the appropriate gear to keep you warm or you can rent from us.

Can I eat some food or drink coffee before free diving?

Yes, but it is best to keep your stomach light before sessions to preserve oxygen when diving. Something light like fruit or granola with yoghurt is recommended. Similar to coffee, tea or high-sugar drinks, try to refrain from them as they raise your heart rate.

The group during this program is a max 7 freedivers.

Benefits of Freediving in Cold Water

Freediving in cold water offers unique physical, mental, and emotional benefits that enhance your diving experience.

1. Improved Circulation and Health
Cold water boosts circulation, enhancing blood flow and oxygen delivery, which can improve cardiovascular health and stamina.

2. Enhanced Breath Control
Cold conditions force you to master breath control, increasing lung capacity and diaphragmatic breathing for better performance.

3. Mental Clarity and Focus
The cold environment helps improve focus, calmness, and mental resilience, keeping you present and relaxed even in challenging conditions.

4. Increased Adrenaline and Endorphins
Cold water triggers adrenaline and endorphins, providing a natural "high" that boosts mood and mental well-being.

5. Strengthened Immune System
Regular cold-water exposure helps boost your immune system, stimulating white blood cell production for better overall health.

6. Unique Underwater Experience
Cold water offers clearer visibility and access to unique marine life, providing an unmatched peaceful and rewarding dive.
