your body, and your breath.
AIDA and Molchanovs-certified freediving school in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur. Founded in 2015 by sisters Candelaria and Lucrecia. Teaching you to listen to your body, your breath, and the sea.
We started underground. In 2015 we opened in Playa del Carmen — in the cenotes, flooded limestone caves beneath the Yucatan jungle where the water is so still you can hear your own heartbeat. That shaped everything about how we teach.
In 2021 we moved to Baja California Sur. Today we are based in Cabo San Lucas — where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, surrounded by dolphins, mobula rays, whale sharks, striped marlin, sea lions, orcas, and humpbacks. Every year we return to the Riviera Maya. The cenotes are still there. So are our roots.
Our StoryMy goal is to make you feel freediving is the easiest thing to ever do.
— Candelaria, FounderFreediving is the only sport where relaxation is a performance variable. Everything we teach is built around one goal: getting you calm enough in the water that your body can do what it already knows how to do.
Over 20 years in the water. 12 years teaching freediving. The experience to adapt our teachings to your skills — wherever you are starting from.
Cabo San Lucas is the only place in Baja you can dive all year round. Learn here and it becomes easy anywhere else.
