Millennia of myths and legends have gradually forged, in the collective unconscious, a frightening image of everything that happens below the surface of the sea. Le Grand Bleu (The Big Blue) by Luc Besson as well as the media, have contributed to forging an inaccurate image of freediving. By evoking the records or accidents of a few athletes, they have raised it to the rank of an extreme sport inaccessible to ordinary mortals.
After more than ten years of teaching freediving, I’m sure: this practice is not an elitist sport only reserved to few “supermen”. On the contrary, it is a simple discipline, accessible and beneficial both physically and mentally.
Thus, in 2022, that I decided to create Experience Méditerranée. Within it, I offers personalized and private teaching focused on learning breathing and mind control, to make freediving a unique and instructive experience. An introduction to the discipline which makes conscious breathing a central element.
Here, there is no goal of performance. No pressure from the stopwatch, the depth, or the need to reach a certain level. The only thing that matters is the experience of the connection between breath, mind, and water. I like to describe it as a “return to the womb of the Sea,” a way to reconnect with what is essential and experience a unique form of aquatic meditation.
Ideally located in Villefranche-sur-Mer, between Nice and Monaco, come and join Claire Dufour, Thomas Bouchard, and myself to discover or rediscover freediving through a tailor-made course.
