The Freediving Baptism in the Sea is a complete introduction to freediving, ideal for beginners who want to experience something different in Barcelona and learn the basics of this exciting sport.
The experience begins at our Vertical Freediving centre, where our team of instructors will welcome you. We will start with an introductory theoretical session, where you will learn:
Basic breathing and relaxation techniques.
Main disciplines of freediving.
How to manage your mind and body underwater.
Safety rules and procedures.
All the technical equipment is included and is specific to freediving: wetsuit, fins, mask, belt, and buoy. We don't use snorkelling or scuba diving equipment, as we're a centre dedicated exclusively to freediving. This allows us to offer you an authentic, safe, and carefully tailored experience.
After the theory, you'll be kitted out at the centre, and we'll set sail from the same harbour. The boat is moored right in front of our facilities, making the logistics quick and convenient. In just a few minutes, we'll be out at sea, where the waters are clearer and visibility is usually excellent, especially in the morning, when the sea is calm and the surroundings invite tranquility.
During the activity, you'll be accompanied by instructors who are passionate about freediving and are also active competitors. They will guide you attentively and closely so that you can enjoy your first dives safely and consciously. You will learn to float, descend in a controlled manner, and feel the serenity of silence underwater.
You do not need previous experience, just to know how to swim and be curious to explore your abilities. Each step is guided and tailored to your level so that you feel comfortable and safe at all times.
In the sea, you'll practice your first vertical dives, understanding how the body naturally adapts to pressure and how the mind finds calm in silence. You'll discover that freediving isn't about holding your breath, but about letting go: about trusting, breathing, and flowing.
Back at the centre, you can take a shower, relax, and share your feelings with the group. We have free parking and easy access by public transport.
Those who complete the introductory course and wish to continue learning will be able to access the center's official freediving courses with a special discount. These courses delve into advanced techniques, equalization, and mental training.
Experience a day with a difference in Barcelona. Discover a sport that combines control, calm, and adventure. The freediving baptism is not just an activity: it's a transformative experience that will connect you with your breathing, with the sea, and with yourself.
