Freediving Discovery – An Introduction to Freediving with Deep Instinct
Hold your breath to create a space of calm in your mind—a deep connection with yourself and the aquatic environment, grounded in listening, presence, sensitivity, and relaxation.
Awaken water skills you didn’t know you had—skills that will allow you to explore the marine environment in total freedom, with natural ease and confidence.
Freediving is all of this, and much more!
Live this experience with Deep Instinct, an internationally minded freediving school based in Livorno.
This introductory activity begins out of the water with a session focused on breathing, stretching, relaxation, and mental approach. Then you will move to confined, shallow waters: here participants will experience their first breath-holds in complete safety, under the attentive guidance of a qualified Deep Instinct instructor.
The experience takes place in the fascinating setting of the “Vaschette”: ancient Roman-era sandstone quarries reclaimed by the sea and time, transformed into evocative natural pools much loved by locals in Livorno. All of this is immersed in Mediterranean scrubland, among rocks shaped by wind and sea over the centuries.
Depending on participants’ interests and the time available, the activity can be extended to include one or more deep freediving sessions in open water along the stunning rocky coastline of the Calafuria Nature Reserve, and it can lead to earning a certification recognized worldwide.
Who: solo, couples, friends, families.
What: being active, relaxing, connecting with nature, learning.
When: the most suitable period for this activity is from May to September. Outside this window, the activity may still be offered under similar conditions if weather allows, or it can be adapted to take place in a swimming pool.
Language: Italian, English
Participants: 1–4 (with sufficient notice we can accommodate larger groups)
Prices: starting from €120/person (~4 hours of activity)
Notes: to take part in freediving courses, a medical certificate is required (fitness for sports participation). Participants who already hold a freediving certification are invited to contact us to assess more advanced options (advanced courses up to instructor level, training/coaching sessions, etc.).
