Freediving is the practice of holding your breath when diving underwater without the use of equipment. Freediving is a way of life for some, a competitive sport for others, and a hobby for many. Get back to your absolute essence of natural connection with yourself and the world around you through the ocean. Bring yourself into the fullest alignment of your body and spirit.
Freediving, with just one breath, gifts you the time, space, and fluidity to glide through the ocean's embrace, exploring dimensions of movement only the weightlessness of water can offer, while heightening your awareness to truly listen to your body's whispers and needs.
"Natalia Molchanova, known by most as the greatest freediver who ever lived, created a freediving education system designed to take a beginner and, step by step, turn them into an elite freediver.
Natalia’s aspiration was always to strive for safe and efficient freediving by providing a thorough education, guided training, and premium freediving equipment. Everything we create is based on this philosophy and strategy, and we continuously update materials and equipment with the latest developments in education, technology, and scientific research. We are inspired and honored to have had Natalia as our founder. Without her, the Molchanovs Movement would not exist today."

A once in a lifetime experience with the largest animal on the planet, and one of the best freedivers, blue whales.
Sri Lanka is one the best places in the world to see blue whales. Our trips migrate with the whales through the season to offer year-round dives. Blue whales are most often seen. You can see also sperm whales, fin whales, Bryde's whales, short finned whales, dolphins and rarely killer whales and whale shark. Sometimes we pass turtles and flying fish.
Sri Lanka offers unparalleled conditions for freediving, with its short boat rides to access depths, warm water temperatures, exceptional visibility, and calm oceans enhancing safety. Beyond these ideal physical conditions, the rich marine life and favorable weather, outside of the rainy season, make it the perfect setting to forge a deep connection with the ocean, positioning it as the best place to learn and practice freediving.
