Trident Freediving was established to transform Cartagena into a premier global destination for breath-hold diving. The centre operates with a clear mission: to promote apnea and cultivate high-level athletes capable of competing on the international stage.
Based in Cartagena, Colombia, the centre provides a structured environment for those looking to master the art of freediving. Whether you are just starting out or aiming for competitive excellence, the focus remains on technical progression and safety.
The centre offers a comprehensive training programme designed to take divers from their first breath-hold to advanced levels. Their curriculum includes the Experiencia Discovery de Apnea for beginners and the highly structured Molchanovs Wave 1 and Wave 2 courses for those pursuing professional-grade skills.
The instruction is built upon a foundation of high-quality training and strict adherence to safety protocols. The centre also organises regular training outings to ensure consistent practice in varied conditions.
The course catalogue is centred around the Molchanovs curriculum, offering Wave 1 and Wave 2 certifications for advanced practitioners. For those new to the discipline, the Experiencia Discovery de Apnea provides an introductory look into the sport.
Beyond individual certifications, the centre runs regular training sessions designed to maintain and improve performance through consistent practice.
In the surrounding waters, you may encounter eagle rays (Aetobatus) patrolling the area. Grey reef sharks (Carcharhinus amblyrhynchos) are also present in the region.
For those exploring the seafloor, look for giant moray eels amongst the reef structures.
