Absolutely not! You just need to know how to swim. Freediving is a sport accessible to all. We'll be delighted to help you discover the underwater world at your own pace.

For all courses, you need to be 18 years old (or 16 with parental consent), and have a medical certificate stating that you are fit to practice freediving (we can provide you with a model if required).

It's true that freediving has a reputation for being a risky sport. What is less well known is that these risks are calculated and very limited by the application of safety rules that we will teach you during your training. You may already be familiar with the first of these rules: NEVER DIVE ALONE.
During your training, we'll accompany you on your dives, and are of course ready to intervene if necessary.
This means that recreational freediving involves very little risk. In competitive freediving, where athletes work to push their limits, the risks are greater and safety procedures more stringent. As a result, in over 30 years of competition, there has only been one fatality.
