Activity description

Our partner offers you an initiation to freediving in Antibes, a unique experience to live a day of connection with yourself and nature!

Taming your breath, developing your ability to relax and becoming one with the water: that's what this activity of freediving discovery will offer you. Freediving in Antibes, near Nice is above all a discovery of yourself and the marine world.

This day of freediving in the Côte d'Azur is open to all, whatever your experience and ease in the water! You will become aware of your breath, learn to relax and discover the pleasures and well-being of freediving! In addition to some theoretical notions, you will work on your ease by perfecting your preparation, your swimming technique and your immersion in vertical apnea.

For an appropriate and healthy practice, you will approach other subjects like the equipment as well as various notions and techniques of safety. You will be supervised by a professional guide who knows freediving perfectly and will be able to advise you, adapt to your needs and accompany you in this so singular adventure! Beyond the performance, you will live an intense and sensational moment thanks to freediving on the French Riviera!

It is on the French Riviera, between Nice and Antibes, that your first freediving experience will take place. Easily accessible from Fréjus, Cannes and Nice, Villeneuve-Loubet is a commune bordered by the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean near the Cap d'Antibes. After having been the scene of the discovery of scuba diving, the Mediterranean basin has more recently become the scene of the rediscovery and development of freediving, a discipline with incredible sensations.

So take the plunge and book your introduction to freediving in Antibes for a transforming experience near Nice!
