Overview

Does the idea of overcoming physical and mental challenges in a calm, aquatic environment appeal to you? If so, then Pure Apnea’s world-class, sport freediving courses will tick all the right boxes.

Our cutting edge sport freediving education system is based on the latest scientific research and freediving techniques.

Learning freediving within the established protocols of competitive freediving disciplines greatly enhances safety and ensures that students are able to safely achieve the highest level of performance. Pure Apnea’s sport instructors are required to reach the highest level of performance of all the international freediving organisations.
