What to expect


Begin your freediving journey at the prestigious Hamdan Sports Complex, where every Tuesday and Friday evening transforms into a haven for underwater enthusiasts. As you enter, you'll be welcomed into a world-class facility, renowned for its excellent amenities.

The session kicks off at 6:30 PM with a warm welcome and a brief orientation, setting the stage for an evening of aquatic discovery.

We begin with a series of stretching exercises, designed to prepare your body for the underwater experience. These exercises not only warm up your muscles but also help align your mind and body for the challenges ahead.

Next, we dive into the heart of freediving with static apnea training. Here, you'll learn the art of breath-holding, a fundamental skill in freediving. This exercise is about patience, control, and understanding your body's signals, under the guidance of our expert instructors.

As the evening progresses, we introduce CO2 tolerance drills. These are designed to improve your body's efficiency in handling carbon dioxide buildup, a crucial aspect of extending your time underwater.

These drills are tailored to match various skill levels, ensuring that everyone from beginners to advanced divers finds value and challenge in the exercises.

Throughout the session, our instructors provide personalized feedback and tips, helping you refine your techniques and enhance your performance.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to push your limits, our sessions cater to all levels of divers. As the training wraps up around 8:00 PM, you'll leave not just with improved skills but also with a deeper connection to the serene world of freediving.

Our program is more than just a training session; it's an opportunity to join a community of like-minded individuals passionate about exploring the depths of the ocean.


Join us for an evening where every dive is a step closer to mastering the tranquil art of freediving.
