Freediving: basic and advanced skills
Freediving courses are taught by Antoine MAESTRACCI, National Freediving Instructor, Brevet d’Etat de Plongée, founder of the first freediving school in Guadeloupe and Captain of the French Gold Medal Team at the CMAS Games in BARI.
The advanced sessions take place in an exceptional environment: the fishy drop-offs of the Ilets Pigeon (Cousteau Reserve) as well as on wrecks (from 23m to 45m), giving you the chance to feast your eyes while improving your performance.
Basics of apnea
In just one half-day session, you’ll reveal your inner potential and learn a number of small techniques (release, breathing, mental preparation, etc.) that will enable you to enjoy the pleasures of freediving and take the time to observe the life of the reef while blending into the environment.
The basic techniques provide you with a protocol that takes you to 20m by the 2nd session.
You can choose between individual or group lessons , details below.
Further training
In half-day sessions, you’ll improve your approach to freediving and/or work on your depth skills. The number of sessions depends on you, your objectives and your initial knowledge.
All levels are available, Les Ilets Pigeon, the heart of the National Marine Park, with drop-offs of up to 70 m.
3 wrecks can become your playground as the sessions progress: the Franjack for those in the 20m zone, the Augustin Fresnel for those in the 30m zone, and the Gustavia for those in the 40m zone.
A playful approach is offered with all the professional means at your disposal: rope work, locoplongeur, light gueuse…
