One-Day Freediving Adventure in the Sea of Cortez
Freediving, Learning & Exploration — Done Properly
Spend a full day on the Sea of Cortez combining freediving, ocean exploration, and a deeper understanding of marine life.
This is for people who want more than a boat trip and more than a quick encounter. The day is shaped around good conditions, time in the water, and learning — learning how to freedive better, how to move more comfortably in the ocean, and how to read what’s happening around you.
​
Led by Carlos Coste, 12-time world-record freediver, and Petra Oberucova, marine-life specialist, educator, and underwater photographer, the experience naturally blends training, exploration, and observation. Encounters may range from sea lions and mobula rays to dolphins, pelagic species, and — at certain times of year — orcas moving through the Sea of Cortez.
​
Unrushed. Well guided. Focused on quality rather than quantity.
What This Day Is Really About
Freediving with purpose
This is not just time in the water. Carlos works with participants on relaxation, technique, equalization, and efficiency — adjusting the focus depending on experience level. Whether you are refining your freediving or being introduced to it for the first time, the goal is to feel calmer, more comfortable, and more aware in the water.
Learning through real encounters
The Sea of Cortez is a living, changing system. Throughout the day, Petra explains what we see as we see it — how animals move, how they interact, and how factors like season, temperature, and food availability influence behavior.
Encounters may include dolphins, sea lions, mobula rays, mantas, pilot whales, sharks, and other pelagic species. Orcas also pass through this region at certain times of year. Rather than making promises, the focus is on understanding the ecosystem and recognizing patterns when wildlife appears.
​
Accessible, even if you’re new to freediving
You don’t need to be a trained freediver to join. Confident snorkelers and water‑comfortable guests are welcome. We introduce freediving skills progressively and safely, allowing participants to explore at their own pace.
A focused group, by design
The group size is intentionally limited to allow proper supervision, clear communication, and enough space in the water for everyone to enjoy the experience without pressure.
How the Day Unfolds
Morning departure
We head out early and plan the day around sea conditions and wildlife activity.
​
Freediving & exploration sessions
The day combines line diving with open‑water exploration. Depending on conditions, this may include blue‑water drifting, reef exploration, and pelagic encounters.
​
Food & hydration included
Fresh fruit, healthy snacks, hydration, and a locally sourced lunch are provided.
​
All equipment provided
Wetsuits, fins, masks, snorkels, weights, and belts are included. You just bring a towel, swimsuit, and curiosity.
​
Professional media included
We document the day with high‑quality 4K photos and video, so you can revisit the experience afterward without needing to think about cameras during the day.
​
This experience is about slowing down, paying attention, and spending meaningful time in the Sea of Cortez — both in and out of the water.
