Service Description

The Learn to Freedive (LTF) Wellbeing Journey is Blueback's seasonal immersion in freediving as a practice for body and mind. Across the season you'll move step by step from breath and stillness on land, to confident, relaxed freediving in the pool and ocean, guided by our professional Blueback Freedive Coaches and carried by a supportive community. Everyone who signs up for an LTF signature course receives our printed Blueback freediving manual, mailed to you when you book. The Journey weaves together: -Functional breathing and pranayama -Yoga and mindfulness practice -Freediving theory, technique and safety -Pool training sessions -Guided ocean freediving The Wellbeing Journey runs as a seasonal intake (Spring, Summer and Autumn) with a limited number of places per season.
