This session follows the Apnea Total freediving education system, one of the long-established and widely taught freediving training organisations in the world, with schools in many countries and thousands of certified students.

Apnea Total focuses on personal progress, relaxation and safety, rather than rigid performance targets a teaching style that fits naturally with the calm rhythm of freediving around the Aran Islands.
