What is Freediving?

Freediving, also known as breath-hold diving or apnea, is the art of diving underwater while holding your breath. Unlike traditional scuba diving, freedivers rely solely on the air in their lungs, allowing for a more intimate and unencumbered connection with the marine environment. This practice dates back over 8,000 years, with historical accounts of humans diving for food, pearls, and sponges.

The Rich History of Freediving

The ancient tradition of freediving has been a part of human history for millennia. One of the most famous examples is the Ama divers of Japan, known as the “women of the sea.” These skilled divers have been harvesting pearls and seafood for over 3,000 years. Despite the modern association of freediving with athletic feats and record-breaking dives, the practice remains rooted in its historical uses and cultural significance.

Freediving Today

Modern freediving has evolved into both a recreational activity and a competitive sport. Whether you’re exploring shallow reefs or attempting to set new depth records, freediving offers a unique way to experience the ocean’s beauty. Freedive Center Curacao, the first and only PADI Freediver Center in Curacao, provides the perfect setting for both beginners and experienced divers to hone their skills.

The Benefits of Freediving

Freediving offers more than just the thrill of exploring the deep. It’s a meditative practice that helps divers reconnect with nature. The silence of the underwater world and the rhythmic pulse of the tide create a calming environment, perfect for escaping the stresses of daily life.

Reconnect with Nature

Freediving allows you to blend seamlessly into the marine environment, encountering shy marine life and hearing the subtle sounds of the ocean. It’s an eco-friendly way to explore the underwater world with minimal impact.

Personal Challenge and Growth

Many freedivers are drawn to the sport for the personal challenge it presents. Freediving requires physical fitness, mental discipline, and a deep understanding of one’s own body and breathing. Each dive is a step towards greater self-awareness and mastery.

Safety in Freediving

While freediving may seem simple, it’s crucial to understand the safety aspects. A non-trained freediver risks injuries such as ear and sinus issues, lung injuries, and even blackouts. Enrolling in a course with an experienced, insured instructor ensures that you learn the necessary safety measures and techniques to enjoy freediving safely.

My boyfriend and I took the open water diver course and had a fantastic experience at B Diving!! Marvin and Ty took really good care of us and were excellent teachers. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, and put my mind at ease as a new diver. I highly recommend this dive shop and spot - the staff overall are great and the location is beautiful. The water is very clear and we saw a lot of aquatic life. Thank you for making our dives an amazing experience!
I came here to get my PADI open water diving certification and ended up doing 3 full days in a row at Cas Abao Beach. We did our diving primarily with Marvin and Ty, both of whom are fantastic people. Overall, the group of people working here are knowledgeable, professional, and a ton of fun to be around. The beach itself is a great place to dive (in my limited experience) and we got to see a ton of great aquatic life. I would highly recommend B Diving to anyone.
I had low expectations for Cas Abao dive site and only chose this shop and location because it allowed me to spend a day on the beach and then dive there in the afternoon. Thanks to Marvin, my dive guide from B Diving, it turned out to be a very nice dive. While the coral there is not great, we were lucky to see a spotted eagle ray, a Morey eel, a honeycomb cowfish, and a squid. Marvin is a really nice guy and we had a pleasant chat before and after the dive.
I'm not easily blown away by service or equipment but this dive shop had it all. Very friendly staff, nothing was too much, they were flexible and their gear was TOP NOTCH. I think I have never had such nice rental gear in my whole diving history. The diving spot itself was also very nice, quite a varied marine life and Rachelle was very precise at spotting different less obvious underwater life.
Compliments to you and keep up this high level of service. Highly recommended.
I recently did a guided dive with Max. Max was great and the dive was also great. No offense to him...but I came here to leave a review for someone else. When my kids found out there was an option for discovery dives...they jumped all over it. They took a short class on what diving was...and the different effects it has on your body. The instructor I'm here to leave a review for is Marvin. To say he was great would be an understatement. He was great with my 11 and 12 year old daughters. He put their minds at ease and made them super comfortable with what they were about to experience. He cracked jokes with them and eased their slightly nervous minds. I can't say enough good things about him, and this dive shop as a whole. Any time I'm in Curacao I will go out of my way to link up with this dive shop, most importantly Max and Marvin. If you're thinking of using this shop, stop thinking about it...and do it. You won't regret it!
A group of friends and I did the Discover Scuba Diving course with Wildo and Brigitte a couple of weeks ago. We had a blast! Both Brigitte and Wildo are excellent instructors: fun, friendly, concise, informative, and SAFE! I highly recommend anyone wanting to try scuba diving take their course.
