Deep Lanza Freedive

Situated on the sun-drenched island of Lanzarote, Deep Lanza Freedive serves as a specialised hub for breath-hold diving. The school focuses on the technical nuances of the sport, emphasising body awareness, relaxation, and precise technique to help you progress through the AIDA curriculum.

Beyond standard training, the centre operates as a dedicated club for regular practitioners. With training sessions held twice a week, it provides a community environment for those preparing for competition or looking to refine their static and dynamic performance.

The centre is staffed by experienced, certified instructors capable of guiding you from your first breath-hold to professional-level AIDA certifications. They offer instruction in English and Italian, ensuring clear communication for technical skills.

The teaching approach is built around safety and technical precision. Whether you are working on advanced equalisation or preparing for the AIDA Instructor Course, the focus remains on structured, professional guidance.

The curriculum covers the complete AIDA progression, including AIDA 1 through AIDA 4. For those looking to master the mechanics of descent, specific courses are available for Equalisation Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 (mouth-fill).

Advanced divers can pursue Technical Freediving or move into professional roles through the AIDA Assistant Instructor and AIDA Instructor courses. The school also offers AIDA Transition courses and specialized coaching for competitive athletes.

For those looking to push depth limits, the centre provides access to a specialised boat equipped with a counterweight system. This setup is specifically designed to facilitate deep-water freediving sessions and training.

Other excursions include trips for wreck diving and snorkeling, allowing you to explore the local seabed from a stable platform.

The centre provides full kit hire for your dives, including wetsuits, fins, masks, snorkels, and weight belts. This allows you to focus entirely on your technique without worrying about your personal equipment.

For those looking to purchase, the shop carries a range of high-quality equipment. The centre is also proud to be sponsored by Cressi, ensuring access to reliable, industry-standard gear.
