About the activity
This freediving experience in Capbreton is ideal for anyone keen to discover deep freediving and who feels comfortable starting directly in open sea conditions. Sound like you? Then get ready for a unique, personalised experience in a small group limited to just 4 participants. Guided by a fully qualified instructor, you’ll enjoy a safe and supportive introduction designed to help you take your first steps in freediving, tune into your sensations, and progress without any focus on performance.
Your deep sea freediving initiation in Capbreton begins with a breathing and stretching session specifically adapted to freediving, followed by an introduction to the basics of equalisation and safety. You’ll then head out by boat for a deep freediving session offshore. The dive usually takes place above the famous Gouf de Capbreton, one of the world’s deepest underwater canyons, stretching over 300 km and plunging to depths of up to 4,500 metres.
If this depth feels intimidating, rest assured that there is also the option to take part in an introductory freediving session in the Hossegor Canal instead. This alternative offers a shore entry and shallow-water conditions, allowing you to experience the calming, meditative sensations of freediving in a setting that feels right for you.
And for those ready to take the plunge—what are you waiting for? Book your introductory deep sea freediving session in Capbreton now and experience the ocean in a whole new way!
