Activity description

Get in the water and discover freediving in Nice, in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the perfect place to start on the French Riviera!

Did you know that? Everyone is capable of freediving for more than 2 minutes - all you have to do is try! And for that, there is nothing better than taking part in a first freediving experience in the harbour of Villefranche-sur-Mer, just a few minutes from Nice. Sheltered from the wind and with a sloping topography, the Villefranche-sur-Mer harbour is one of the best sites in the world for freediving in complete safety!

If you simply want to try freediving in Nice for fun and discover the discipline without going into too much detail, the half-day introductory session is for you. You will simply learn the basics of breathing, compensation, relaxation and release before freediving. But if you want to learn more, then the 2 half-day Basic Freediver course is for you: not only will your experience be longer, but you will also learn more about the basics of freediving!

Perfect for a first approach to the discipline alongside professional instructors, this introduction to freediving in Nice is not to be missed if you are intrigued by this thrilling aquatic sport!
