Arriving in Tabaiba: quiet streets, the sound of waves, and the deep blue of the Atlantic stretching out before you. Check-in is simple and relaxed; drop your luggage, open the balcony doors, and let the warm ocean air fill the room.
Once the formalities are completed, the best way to settle in is simply to step outside. The Tabaiba coastline is right at your feet:
- The natural seawater pool, carved into the rock and regenerated by the ocean, is perfect for a first swim after the flight.
- The small local beach offers calm waters, sunshine and a peaceful place to stretch out and relax.
And if you prefer to simply sit back and breathe, the promenade offers you a front-row seat facing the endless horizon.
Your arrival day is dedicated to slowing down, relaxing, and allowing your body to transition into island mode. Tomorrow, the adventure begins — but today, the ocean awaits.

Your second day begins with a gentle introduction to the world of freediving. After breakfast, you'll head to the center to meet the team of instructors who will guide you throughout the week. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know those who will be with you in the water—caring professionals, passionate about their work and ready to help you feel safe, confident, and relaxed.
You'll begin with a short session focused on understanding the equipment: how to choose the right mask, use your snorkel comfortably, adjust your fins, and understand the importance of proper weighting. Everything is explained simply and practically so you can enjoy the water from the very first moment.
Next comes the first real step of your freediving journey: a relaxing introductory lesson in the pool. Here, you'll learn the basics—breathing techniques, body relaxation, efficient movement, and water comfort. The atmosphere is calm and encouraging, giving you time to get comfortable, ask questions, and enjoy the experience.
By the end of the session, you will already feel the difference: more ease, more confidence, and the spark of what freediving is really all about — peace, concentration and connection with the water.

Day three begins with a relaxed morning dedicated to some light theory, building on everything you learned yesterday. Your instructors will guide you through the essentials of buoyancy control, relaxation, and freediving safety habits—simple, practical knowledge that prepares you for your first real steps in the ocean. The goal isn't to overwhelm you with information, but to help you feel calm, confident, and ready.
After the theory session, it's time for the moment everyone is eagerly awaiting: your first practical session in a natural environment.
You'll walk just a few meters from the center to the sheltered Tabaiba Bay, a calm and welcoming spot, ideal for beginners. The water there is clear, calm, and deep enough for exploration while remaining close to the shore.
During this first session at sea, you will practice:
- Floating and relaxing on the surface
- Breathing and preparation techniques
- Balancing in real-world conditions
- Your first attempts at submersion below the surface
Everything unfolds slowly, step by step, with your instructors right by your side. There's no pressure to go deep—the focus is on comfort, enjoyment, and discovering the peaceful feeling the ocean provides when you move with ease.

Day four shifts the focus from depth to dynamic movement, giving you the chance to explore how your body moves underwater in the calm, controlled environment of a swimming pool. This is where freediving truly begins to become fluid and playful.
The session begins with a short briefing from your instructors on finning technique: how to use your legs efficiently, how to maintain a streamlined body position, and how to move with minimal effort. You'll learn why good technique matters far more than strength, and how small adjustments can make your swimming smoother and more enjoyable.
Next, it's time to enter the pool for a session dedicated to dynamic apnea. Here, you will work on:
- The correct use of fins and a relaxed and efficient finning technique
- Body position and hydrodynamics
- Underwater control and buoyancy
- Short distances in dynamic swimming with full instructor support
The pool environment allows you to focus solely on technique, without waves, currents, or distractions. It's a safe space to experiment, refine your movements, and experience how easily you can glide when everything falls into place.
At the end of the session, you will notice a marked improvement in your comfort and efficiency underwater — a skill that will make your next dives in the sea feel even more natural.
