Type of Trip: Women-only land-based cenote freediving training camp
Certification: No certification is needed, this trip is a mix of levels, so you can be certified Freediving Level 1 (or equivalent) or no certification at all
This is a mixed-skill freediving retreat. Suitable if you have tried freediving before but have not completed a course/ a freediver who completed level 1 a long time ago and wants to refresh all skills and knowledge/ a certified freediver looking to improve freediving skills.
Freedive in the Mexican cenotes, swim with whale sharks, stay in a private condo in the Jungle and surround yourself with fierce female freedivers!
Freediving has the power to change lives, the feeling of diving without a tank is simply incredible, and there truly is no other place to do it quite like the cenotes of Yucatan. Alongside a group of empowering women, Girls that Scuba will be taking a group of females and introducing/re-introducing them to freediving in one of the most magical places on earth... will you be joining us?
Private condo located in the middle of the jungle but strategically located just 2 miles away from downtown Tulum. We have the whole property rented for Girls that Freedive. You will have your own large private room with a king-size bed, A/C, full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine and coffee, living room, and roof garden with sunbeds. Catered delicious and nutritious breakfasts every morning (excluding one morning we leave early for whale sharks) and 4 x catered alfresco dinners. Oh, there's also hot tubs and two pools in our private condo!
Our retreat is centred around our apartments and the cenotes, this isn't a trip to party out in Tulum, we will have a few visits into the town for group dinners, but tend to mainly stay in our own slice of paradise away from the crowds. Please be aware of this when signing up that it won't be a chance for you to explore Tulum town or beach area.
