OUR PHILOSOPHY
To come and practice freediving at sea is to get away from routine, stress, schedules, speed… Soothe yourself, develop your breathing, connect with yourself and the beauty of nature .
It’s about experiencing aquatic and human adventures together, sharing unique moments of pleasure and freedom, without any competitive spirit.
For us, freediving is an art of living, a way of taking care of ourselves, others and nature.
THE TEAM’S PLUS POINTS

PRESERVE THE SEA
During our outings: we collect waste at sea, we don’t take any individuals from their environment, we encourage car pooling, we launch from the coast (the boat impacts the air and the sea and creates noise pollution that disturbs species). We are also involved in various environmental clean-up and awareness-raising projects.
