FREEDIVING & SPEARFISHING COURSES
What is freediving?
Freediving is a discipline rather than a sport and requires trust in the instructor and in oneself, sacrifice, perseverance, concentration, passion and the will to recognise the language of one’s own body with all its limits in the aquatic environment.
Because all this leads, first and foremost, to the depths of oneself in an introspective journey with immense mental and physical benefits.
Because it allows us to get to know a wonderful and limitless world from which we ourselves come and which often draws the human spirit to itself in order to calm the disturbances of an increasingly restless and frenetic and apparently “normal” life.
Every time we go down into the depths of the sea, we also go down into the depths of ourselves
“Why go freediving?
Why go to the bottom of the sea?
Why go deep without breathing?
What would it be like at 5 metres?
What would it be like at 10 metres?
Or 20 metres?
What would you like to hear on that jump?
Why would anyone do this?
Is it the search for an adrenaline rush?
It’s the opposite.
The deeper you go, the slower your heart beats and the more inner calm you find.
We freedive to discover the depths within ourselves.
To find our absolute inner calm.
The depth of our relaxation.
And it is only by relaxing as much as you can that you can.
And this is only possible with the help of a buddy who makes you feel safe.
It is the desire for depth.”
(Stig Pryds)
