Day 1 - Arrival and Orientation
Sail to calm waters off Šolta. Freedive session: Enjoy warm up sessions where you will be observed in dive technique as it relates to finning, duck diving, body positioning, equalisation and so on. Each student will dive with William so he can make notes on what needs to be focused on to get you to the next level. Afternoon sailing techniques: sail trim, reefing, helming basics. Evening unwind: stretch, breathe, and swap sea stories.
Deep session: body adaptation, freefall, relaxation. Building on the previous days in-water session, we focus on specific skills identified as requiring improvement on Day 2, along with an approach that helps the body adapt to the depths, freewill skills, and importantly, relaxation. Mindset workshop: breathe and focus under challenge. Navigation practice: chart plotting and weather routing. Optional night snorkel or sit-back tales of extreme dives and heavy-weather crossings.
Freedive the Blue Cave area (Bisevo Island), with stunning light and geography. Advanced breath control in dynamic ocean conditions. Afternoon: sailing manoeuvres and anchoring drills. Wind-down with shared reflections and low-lit laughter whilst enjoying numerous beautiful photos and video clips from various expeditions along with several documentary films to inspire you on your free diving journey.
Static apnea hangs and safety-focused depth sessions. Skills: rescue drills, technique refinement, equalisation hacks. William’s behind-the-scenes dive stories and photography tips. Gentle yoga and recovery breathwork on deck.
Final morning breath dive - still, present, powerful - practicing all you've learnt under observation. You will be guided on areas you still need to work on and how to make the most on your continued journey in free diving. Smooth sail back to port. Celebration dinner ashore, and maybe a final tale or two.
