We offer the best of both worlds: the very best training as well as the very best environment in which to learn.
The enjoyment of all water activities and underwater sports, freediving, in particular, relies on safety and knowledge. When you understand your environment and feel safe in it, you’re on your way to more diving satisfaction. This is why we focus on patient and thorough teaching of the basics, first.
What You'll Learn
You’ll learn the basic principles of freediving, centered around breath holding techniques, proper breathing underwater, and safety while diving. We’ll also cover effective stretching and relaxation techniques to help you connect both your mind and body.
In this course, we take you through all the foundational steps on the path to completion.
At the end of the PADI Basic Freediving Course, you’ll understand more about the physiology of diving and how to dive safely.
Hold your breath for at least 90 seconds and achieve a dynamic apnea (holding breath while swimming) of 25 meters (80 feet). You’ll also learn about the principles of rescue diving and so much more.

Learn how to Freedive with us !
The folks at Freediving Uvita provide a superb and highly personal experience. They are engaged with the ocean and with their community. As a new freediver, I feel tremendously lucky to have been taught and certified by Charline. She’s fantastic.
Super recommended for all those people who want to start or know more about free diving; I took a two-day course (1 day pool session, 2 day open water in the ocean) on the recommendation of a friend as a beginner without having any knowledge of the subject and I really enjoyed and learned a lot thanks to the instructor Silvany, an experience that without I certainly want to repeat where you will learn several techniques that will help you improve in just a couple of days.The practice in open water or in the ocean takes place within the waters of the Marino Ballena National Park, which is an incredible place, with the best visibility and with luck you will also be able to see other animals such as dolphins, turtles, fish and even whales during the season.The super professional instructor, patient and very clear with his instructions, in addition to always accompanying you and making you feel safe at all times and with him you can also obtain your certification, I totally recommend this experience with Free Diving Uvita and I assure you that you will fall in love with this10/10
Sylvain and Charlene are amazing. Very knowledgable teachers and great overall experience. Freediving is an amazing sport especially when taught by these masters.
A big thank you to Charlène and Sylvain for the very professional and friendly welcome! I felt well supported and safe to try freediving for the first time. Having never practiced a sport of this type, I had difficulty with the basics but Charlène and Sylvain were able to be educational, patient and involved, thank you very much!If you have any doubts, go for it, you don't take any risks!
Amazing!I recently did the Level 1 freediver course here, and it was an incredibly fulfilling experience.Charline and Sylvain, the instructors, were absolutely amazing. Their blend of professionalism and warmth was truly remarquable.The course was well-structured, with the theoretical aspects presented in an organised and comprehensive manner. When it came to the practical sessions, they were incredibly reassuring, especially for someone new to freediving. Charline had this great balance between challenging us to push our limits while being keenly aware of our comfort zones, providing constant reassurance along the way.I’m very excited to continue my freediving journey with them as my guides and instructors. Gracias :))
Sylvain and Charline are super nice people with good energy 🌞 Charline explained everything so well to me and the lessons were not too serious so I had so much fun learning. I loved the sessions with her and she was super patient with everything. Definitely recommend 🫶🏻
So happy I found you! Not only am I getting out into the ocean and learning new skills (and getting certified!), but also now part of a great little community in the area to learn and go on adventures with. Big thanks to Charline and Sylvain 🙂
Sylvain and Charline are caring and professional instructors. They happily pass on their passion for Free Diving to us! The equipment for the course is of high quality! The place is fabulous! I love training with them!

Great place to learn (pool session) and dive! Richard and Charlene are lots of fun and good instructors. The canõ Island Freedive site are well worth it. We had amazing visibility and had a great time!

With Costa Rica's stunning marine life as your backdrop, Freediving Uvita creates unforgettable memories while expanding your free diving skills. I look forward to getting back in the water with Sylvain and Charline!
I had a great experience with my freediving course. Charline and Sylvain always takes the time for each student and I love the beautiful surroundings where we practice. I met so many great people through this. I would definitely recommend 😃
The club is a great way to meet new people from the community, even if you’re just passing through. Sylvain and Charlene explain the techniques very thoroughly and easy to understand. Then they provide feedback for corrections. Excited to be learning proper free diving techniques and having fun!
Freediving Uvita is a wonderful introduction to freediving and has given me all of the confidence and skill to freely explore the ocean. Sylvain and Charline are excellent instructors who bring a balance of enthusiasm and professionalism to the pool sessions so people of all levels can enjoy the experience. I’m so grateful to have discovered Freediving Uvita!
Excellent local club for freediving practice sessions and ocean trips! I've really enjoyed training and diving with Sylvain and Charline. They provide great gear and instruction, highly recommended.
Had an awesome introduction to freediving this week! Stoked and definitely doing more lessons/courses here! Can only recommend it! 🙂
The freediving course with Sylvain and Charline has been life changing for me! There are so many benefits from freediving, but the biggest for me has to be the level of peace and oneness that you can experience. Sylvain and Charline help make this possible by being super calm and peaceful themselves. They have a beautiful energy, and with their knowledge and skills, I felt super supported when I was in the water with them. If you want to take your freediving to the next level, this is the place to do it!
