Coaching
Freedive passion originated in Dahab, Egypt as a coaching method for anyone looking to become better freedivers. Our reputation was built by helping people overcome their freediving blockages, achieving new states of peace, increased depths and even world and national records.
Now based in La Ventana, we still offer some of the world's best coaching, with the added joy of being surrounded by amazing marine life!

-
The depth that you go to should be a choice - not a gamble
-
Every part of your dive should be in control and pre planned
-
You can be in a semi detached state of flow during the entire experience.
-
Diving this way frees your consciousness to recognise the glory of each moment of submersion.
Guiding you to these goals is the aim of coaching. Unlocking new depth is the same path whether you're currently diving to 30m or 80m. You must know what you need to do (skills), you must know what to expect (experience) and you must have the confidence that you can do it (training).
As coaches we give you all of the tools required for the depth that you are planning to dive to. This ensures that you have safe and comfortable dives and achieve new levels of relaxation underwater.
Typical Day
Morning - Dive session - In the water you will have specific tasks to work on, guided by our coaches. With relevant feedback and a calm environment. (3 hours)
Afternoon - Debriefing and Equalization training followed by theory and practical training. (3 hours)

LA VENTANA
We are based in La Ventana, Baja California Sur, Mexico - On the gulf of California (Sea of Cortez). Our home is one of the most biodiverse regions of the world! So much so that it was made a world natural heritage site in 2005.
We have 39% of the world's marine mammals right here! Along with the 5 of the 7 sea turtles of the world, huge congregations of mobula rays, Pelagic fish and sharks.
In 2024 while training on the line, we had visitors from Orca (Killer) whales, Dolphins, Sea Lions, Mobula, Dorado, Sea Turtles and Silkie Sharks.
Our weekly Excursions gave us even more gifts from nature while exploring these amazing waters.
BEGINNERS
We are happy to introduce new people to freediving. We believe in personalised training for all levels. For this reason we offer 2 options. A shorter option for those who are already comfortable with snorkelling in open water, and a longer course for those that will need extra time to feel at home in the sea.
Certification is available for everyone who reaches the required standards.
Be sure to check with us and include an excursion to put your new skills to the test in the wild!
