Corsica Free Diving

Located at the Quai des Martyrs in the Bastia Old Port, Corsica Free Diving is a dedicated school for breath-hold divers. Founded in 2018, the centre has established itself as a specialist hub for those looking to refine their technique or pursue competitive performance.

Whether you are just beginning to explore the sensation of breath-hold diving or you are an experienced athlete seeking to push your limits, the instruction here is tailored to your specific goals. The school focuses heavily on the technical mechanics of the sport, ensuring a solid foundation for every student.

The school is led by Stéphane Provent, an experienced instructor and former high-level competitor, notably holding the Palme d'Or at the Loïc Leferme Trophy. His expertise is central to the school's specialised approach to training.

The instruction is provided by certified professionals affiliated with AIDA and Moving Limits. This ensures that students receive training that meets international standards for both recreational and performance-oriented freediving.

The curriculum covers the full spectrum of freediving, starting with introductory sessions for those new to the sport. For those looking to improve, the school offers intermediate refinement stages and dedicated performance programmes.

Technical mastery is a core component of the teaching, with specific courses focused on compensation techniques, including the Frenzel and BTV methods. Divers can also participate in specialised outings to explore wrecks or engage in spear fishing.

For those heading out for sessions, the centre collaborates with Marine Diving Center at the Bastia Old Port to facilitate sea excursions. This partnership ensures that divers have access to the necessary support for offshore trips.

The waters around Bastia are home to various pelagics, including dolphins that can be encountered during sea excursions.

The marine landscape is defined by its diverse habitats, providing a rich environment for various species to thrive.
