For us, freediving is about joy, play, discovery, and feeling 100% alive. We create experiences around bucket-list marine wildlife encounters; the kind of moments you’ll be proud of for the rest of your life.

We’re super selective when we choose our destinations, suppliers, and team. Every trip aligns strongly with our values.

We know our trips aren’t cheap. We’re not here for low-cost, barely-there freediving meetups, and we’re not ‘content creators’ looking for a free vacation. We’re professional and experienced facilitators here to make your trip unforgettable.

So, when you decide to book a trip with us, here’s what you can expect:

• Small groups (8-16 people depending on the trip)

• Dedicated 24-hour engagement from facilitators on retreat. You won’t be left to figure out your own dinner plans or solve issues alone.

• Convenient and secure booking process. No random bank transfers here.

• Regular communication and information about your trip.

• Professionally qualified, experienced, and insured facilitators (no volunteers or trainees).

• Licensed, legitimate operators chosen for their safety records and values.

• A LOT of silliness and fun. Expect games, dancing, human pyramids, dirty jokes, and our signature Immersia Olympics…

Perhaps these things seem obvious. However, we can confidently say that right now we are running the safest and most legitimate freediving retreat operation in the world. How do we know? We research constantly AND listen to customers and staff members. We’re serious about being the best freediving operation on earth.

Prices start from from USD $6650
