Deep, Wild & Blue is back for its 6th edition, now an exhilarating 9-day holistic retreat that dives deeper into freediving, ocean play, and connection with the water. This immersive experience blends skill-building, adventure, and community, set against the stunning backdrop of Baja’s pristine waters. Known for our playful water activities, soulful connections, and delicious, locally-inspired meals, this retreat is a celebration of the ocean and those who love it.
Our curated itinerary offers a dynamic mix of freediving line sessions, guided ocean excursions, and vibrant day trips. You’ll train alongside like-minded adventurers from around the globe, forging bonds through shared exploration and joy in the water.
The training program is designed to elevate your freediving practice, featuring apnea-focused flow, breathwork, equalization workshops, cold water therapy, and in-depth depth training. Our expert instructors provide personalized guidance to build your skills and confidence, empowering you to explore the underwater world with grace and ease.
A highlight of the retreat is our Sea Safaris during the mass mobula ray migration, a breathtaking natural phenomenon. Witness tens of thousands of mobula rays, leaping in acrobatic displays and gliding gracefully underwater. Freedive alongside these majestic creatures, learning about their behavior, biology, and the vibrant marine ecosystem they call home. This is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in one of the ocean’s most awe-inspiring spectacles.
Beyond the water, we savor the flavors of Baja with delicious, thoughtfully prepared meals that fuel our adventures and spark connection over shared tables. From playful days in the sea to soul-nourishing evenings, Deep, Wild & Blue is an unforgettable journey into the heart of the ocean.
Join us for this transformative experience in one of the world’s most pristine marine environments. We can’t wait to dive in and get salty with you!
