If you think freediving is just like snorkeling (but going really deep) - think again. Freediving is an entirely different way to experience the underwater world. You’ll dive deeper, stay down longer, and feel part of the ocean itself.
Enjoy Freediving in crystal clear waters of Ustica Island.
- While Skin divers may have training that teaches skills, such as efficient dives and snorkel-clearing, Freediving uses advanced breathing techniques and diving skills to increase depth and time underwater.
- Through training, freedivers learn conserve oxygen while breathholding while practicing different freediving disciplines.
- Freediving is the perfect way to reconnect to the sea and explore the depths of the oceans with minimal impact
