week trips
MARSA ALAM
THE ULTIMATE FREEDIVING HOLIDAY
7 days diving on amazing coral reefs in egyptian Red See. Based in an eco village near Marsa Alam.
We stay in luxury tents on the beach with the amazing reef on our doorstep, all food is included with a dedicated chef ready to help with all dietary requirements.
Each day is different but the general itinerary includes 2 or 3 dives and a dry activity – such as yoga or theory session.
The first dive is before breakfast, usually on the outer house reef or a trip to an offshore site. The second dive is usually a small group training freedive either on the ropes or sled, or photoshoots.
We are very fortunate to have many wildlife encounters either on the house reefs or on day trips, such as dolphins, turtles and sharks which pays tribute to the ecology of the area as well as the efforts of the locals to preserve it.
Yacht trips
Greek yacht trips to suit everyone
The trip starts and ends in Kefalonia or Lefkas and includes 7 nights aboard our beautiful yacht. Freedivers and snorkelers are welcome, as many of the locations can enjoyed from the surface.
We run 3 different trips, each tailored to the guests. We have 28 unique and sometimes exclusive sites from shallow bays to deep wrecks.
Prices start from £1800, which includes yacht accommodation (2 people sharing a room as standard), NTX freediving itinerary, coaching and airport transfers in Greece. Maximum of 6 guests per trip.

extreme location freediving
For the adventurous!
Kefalonia
Part of our extreme location freediving trip series.
Extreme location freediving is not suited to everyone, but if you want to freedive where nobody has dived before - then this might be for you.
Based on land on the Ionian island of Kefalonia, we will abseil into huge open caves (similar to the Cenotes of Mexico) and freedive in the crystal clear waters underground. The itinerary changes depending on the group (Max 4 people).
Generally 2 activities per day, or 1 big trip underground.
The 4 skills requires to enter these locations are
1. Freediving
2. Darkwater (Freediving in total darkness requires specific safety protocols)
3. Caving (These caves are very large, no squeezy tunnels but experience is beneficial)
4. S.R.T. (Abseiling & climbing up a single rope using a harness & prusiks )
This is only suitable for confident freedivers and those ready to explore locations that not many people have seen before.
Darkwater & S.R.T. will be taught during the week.
