THE PROGRAM
Begin with understanding.
Confidence can follow.
Discover Wave is your first introduction to real freediving. With Ocean BX, you learn what happens before a dive, how to move comfortably underwater, and how to look after yourself and your buddy.
Start with the fundamentals in the classroom and pool, then bring them into the blue of Pujada Bay. Your instructor guides the progression around your comfort and the conditions on the day.
An introduction to freediving. Completion is not a full freediving certification.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
Small skills.
A different feeling in the water.
Understanding comes first.You have time to ask, practise, and try again.
Breathing & relaxation
Understand calm breath preparation and notice unnecessary tension before you enter the water.
Equalization
Learn the basics of balancing pressure in your ears, with guided practice and time to find your rhythm.
Comfortable movement
Get familiar with your mask, snorkel and fins. Practise efficient finning, a controlled duck dive, and easy underwater movement.
Safety & buddy awareness
Understand supervision, the buddy system, and why freediving is always a shared activity. Learn to recognise and respect your limits.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A first day,
at your pace.
From an idea to a feeling in the water. Each part gives you something to build on.
We don't rush depth.
A comfortable, controlled dive matters more than a number.

Meet your instructor, talk through your questions, and explore relaxation, equalization and the safety principles behind each dive.
THEORY & PREPARATION
