FREEDIVING SAFARI ON A SUPER COMFORTABLE CATAMARAN!
Join us on a week-long trip aboard our catamaran and dive to the depths in the crystal clear water of the Adriatic Sea while discovering a world of unique and vibrant marine life. During the dives, our professional instructors will help you connect with the water, enhance your comfort with the sea, help you improve your technique and ensure diving underwater with confidence.
The catamaran, which visits a new dive site every day, provides us with a perfect and comfortable base for relaxation and recreation, alongside other activities.
Bring your curiosity and desire to explore and we'll take care of cultivating an unforgettable experience in the world of open water diving and sailing!
Besides curiosity and fun, this is definitely the place for you if,
- you love diving and want to explore the marine world in the freest possible way, with the least possible distractions and with minimal equipment that you can take anywhere, so that you can move comfortably in depths of over 10 metres;
- you are a fan of water sports like windsurfing, wave riding, kayaking, kiting or foiling, and you want to feel safer on the water;
- you are a frequent boater and, as a helmsman or crew member, you would like to be able to assess and possibly repair underwater faults, find lost objects and provide safe assistance without external assistance.
- Age groups from 18 – 60+ years of age. It can be safe for anyone with medical clearance.
WHY APPLY?
Combine freediving with sailing for a truly unique experience. Sailing allows you to reach remote and secluded dive sites that are often inaccessible by land. Each day you can try your hand at a different spot on the water.
Sailing creates a strong connection with the natural world as you navigate with the wind and the elements. Freediving complements this experience by immersing you directly in the marine environment, where you can learn more about your own abilities. The combination of sailing and diving moves your body and mind at the same time. It offers physical activity, mental relaxation and a spiritual connection with the sea, making it a truly renewing and transformative adventure.
This session can benefit you in more ways than one, as you may find yourself in a situation underwater where you need an active presence of mind to feel safe again. This technique will help you to mentally control these situations so that you can remain calm and rise to the occasion. These skills have a way of transferring to other parts of your life when a sense of calm and active presence of mind are important and can bring all sorts of mindful benefits to your life, not just for diving. These skills can also be useful in other areas of your life where a sense of calm and active presence is important.
Depths of more than 4-5 metres are out of reach for most people without scuba diving equipment. However, these are the most common depths in recreational boating, where it would be useful to be able to move quickly and safely underwater without complicated, cumbersome equipment, to be able to assess and even solve any minor technical problems (e.g. anchor location, snags, ropes wound on propellers, etc.). On this tour you will learn everything you need to know.
Attention! The spots are limited, sign up NOW!

We will try to have lunch after the training or during the boat trip. Cooking and eating together will be followed by a break, workshops or other practical sessions.
In the afternoon, at the new location, informal activities until dinner, fun dive, swimming, sunbathing, photography/videography.
Dinner will take place either in a restaurant in the harbour or together on the boat.
Life on board = Active holiday
As a micro-community, we will live together on our boat for a week. In our experience, those who are open to exploration and new experiences on an adventurous journey will enjoy this kind of experience thoroughly.
During common activities such as dives and meals, or even a mooring and anchorage, there will be opportunities to participate and learn about life on the boat.
We would like to reach all the sites during the planned itinerary, but at the same time we plan to spend the night at anchor and in port, weather permitting.
What kind of boat we have?
The final selection of the boat(s) will be made once the actual number of applicants is known!
In addition to diving, the 7-day camp offers courses from beginner to master level. The theoretical and practical courses will help you to dive safely and confidently. One instructor can work with up to 4 people on a dive line, giving everyone enough time to practice and improve. If you are not experienced in freediving, we will give you a beginners course in the first few days where you will learn the basics of the sport. You can then take the next level or practice under the supervision of instructors.
