Activity description

Dive into the blue waters of Gozo Island and explore its underwater world. Discover freediving with a professional guide! Ages 12 and up. 

If you are looking for a special freediving destination, Gozo Island is the perfect place for you. Freediving is a unique form of underwater diving that everyone can try. Instead of relying on a scuba tank, you’ll learn to hold your breath and resurface. A professional guide will accompany you on an incredible diving journey to 20 metres in depth!

Your freediving adventure will start by meeting your instructor and reaching the starting point of the activity. Your guide will choose the freediving spot based on the weather conditions, going from the picturesque Mgarr ix-Xini to the fascinating Ix-Xatt l-Ahmar, on Gozo Island. After briefing you about the activity and showing you the equipment, you and your guide will start practising with some breathing exercises. They’ll instil in you the confidence to dive into the water and discover freediving! 

For this freediving experience on Gozo Island choose the course that fits you the most: a half-day, a full-day or a 3-day long course. Check the different options down below and pick the one that suits your schedule!

Embark on this incredible adventure and discover freediving around Gozo Island. Make your holiday one to remember!
