"We may not have gills, but we've got the skills."

Founder
Petra Oberucova
Petra is the epitome of a real ocean lover and ocean adventurer! An exceptional diver, her true strength is in her knowledge and passion for sea life and her incredible ability to interact with the fauna around her. Her big, beautiful smile is matched by her heart, and her love of the sea brightens everyone’s day and makes learning a truly wonderful experience.
For the last 4 years, she has been living and diving around the incredible Sea of Cortez. As the founder of Freediving Explorations, she hopes to share her respect and admiration for the water and all sea life with others.
