Feeling afraid of the sea is normal, water is an environment to which the human being feels prone and helpless. This course can be a great challenge to master that fear.

ANSWER
Any time of the year is ideal. However, the water in summer is warm and with better visibility than in winter. In winter you will need a thicker diving suit and there will be less visibility.
If you are a beginner (level 1) we recommend summer. If you are advanced we recommend any time.
AIDA LEVELS
LEVEL 1
This is a theoretical-practical course, basic for those who have the desire to experience free diving. Only by dedicating two days to basic apnea learning you will learn the principles of breathing, apnea psychology and relaxation exercises in order to feel the depth of the sea. You will understand what we will do in its entirety, and then we will have a session at sea to put into practice what we have acquired. Level 1 limits you to 20 meters deep.
LEVEL 2
Directed to anyone who is familiar with the sport of freediving and have their LEVEL 1 certificate. You will strengthen your free diving technique and also learn to use apnea fins (long fins) in the category of Constant Weight with Fins. Depth is an achievable challenge because you are able to submit to water pressure. In the end you will be able to hold your breath for 2 to 3 minutes, swim horizontally in a pool at least 40 meters and descend 15 and 20 meters feeling relaxed.
