We believe that every new experience in life requires the best learning conditions.
Freediving is a sport that is based on high-level focus, relaxation, coordination, and practice.
This is why after diving all over the world, we chose to open our FREEDIVING school and sports club in the bay of the red sea in the city of EILAT.
What makes us so special?
We are the ONLY freediving school in Israel that has all the facilities that will make your experience the most enjoyable and amazing you can think of.
FREEDIVE ISRAEL is located in a beautiful and quiet Villa in the best neighborhood in Eilat and it's designed completely for freediving, yoga, and holistic and healthy lifestyle.
In the freediving school, you'll find a comfortable air-cond yoga studio and classes, coffee and tea corner, a swimming pool, hot showers, bathrooms, and changing rooms.
We are offering freediving courses and coached dives from shore or from a boat, yoga classes, ice baths, and breathing workshops.

FREEDIVING COURSES
of Apnea Total & AIDA
International Freediving organizations:
In one breath we will experience the sea in its natural form,
We will be enveloped in the infinite silence and listen to the rhythm of our heartbeats as they slow down.
Slowly, the body learns to trust the experience, and the mind remembers what it always knew, we have arrived home.
Freediving in the Red Sea - Eilat
Eilat – is the most southern and the only city located on the shores of the Red Sea in Israel and serves as a port city and tourism central.
The Red Sea is a pilgrimage destination from all over the world. The eternal summer, beautiful beaches, clear sea and spectacular diving sites make the Red Sea beaches a popular tourist destination. At the northern end of the Gulf of the Red Sea lies Eilat. The average depth in the Gulf is 900 meters below sea level and the maximum depth is 1,820 meters below sea level. Geologically, the Gulf of Eilat is part of the Syrian-African rift and hence its depth.
Eilat's sea conditions are the most comfortable you can ask for, with stunning visibility of 1 – 50 meters, breathtaking underwater landscapes, rich coral reefs and underwater sea life. The Red Sea Bay is elongated and narrow, which is why there are no waves and its perfect for freediving just like a real swimming pool!
What is APNEA DIVING?
The word apnea is derived from Greek, meaning "breathless".
Free diving is diving by only one breath without any use of breathing aids (such as a diving tank and a breathing system) however diving equipment such as a mask, weights and snorkel are sometimes used. The diver inhales air full of his lungs and deepens for as long a time as possible.
Contrary to initial intuition, this sport is safer than diving with breathing aids, and can dive to greater depths than diving with compressed air tanks.
A natural way to enjoy the beauty of the depths of the sea
Some people consider free diving an extreme sport whose uniqueness is the deep serenity and tranquility that contrasts with all other types of extreme sports. For others it is a natural way to enjoy the beauty of the depths of the sea without any need for cumbersome, heavy and uncomfortable diving equipment, and some experience free diving as meditation and connection of body and mind.
Free diving serves as a basis for a variety of sports such as spearfishing, underwater photography, competitive diving and of course just plain relaxed and fun snorkeling.
Who are we?
We at Freediving Israel believe that freediving is much more than a sport, it is a way to discover who we are… After experiencing, learning and teaching in diving clubs around the world, participating in freediving competitions as a safety team and as competitors, absorbing the knowledge, experience and atmosphere, we decided to return to Israel and open the Freediving Israel School in Eilat.
We wanted our club to encompass all the things we had absorbed and seen, and to be able to explore and develop the freediving industry in all its facets as much as possible, with the ultimate goal being to introduce this sport to as many people as possible and to develop an active community of professional freedivers in Israel.
At FREEDIVE ISRAEL - EILAT we believe freediving is much more than a sport.
Freediving is a way of life and a way to discover who we really are.
After experiencing freediving on all levels around the world, learning, and teaching, participating in the highest level competitions as safety divers and competitors and absorbing all the knowledge. We decided that it will be so much better if we can share this amazing experience with as many people as possible.
Our super-vision is to develop a professional and supportive freediving community and to create a platform for all to thrive.
we teach freediving from the belief that:
-
everybody can dive
-
depth and time are not the targets but by-products of comfortability and connection to the breath, body and the aquatic environment (the more we connect and let go the deeper we go)
-
Freediving is enjoyable and fun, follow the basic rules of freediving, keep yourself and your friends safe.
-
Freediving is therapeutic, be gentle and surrender to the breath and the water, this element has the capacity to surface all kinds of suppressed emotions, and by that to realize and heal ourselves from blockages, both physical and mental.
-
sharing the information for the benefit of the freediving community
For this reason we chose to teach APNEA TOTAL courses. An international freediving organization who believes that freediving isn't about depth, it's about self exploration and learning about oneself and the environment.
FREEDIVE ISRAEL is dedicated to develop the freediving sport and freediving education in Israel in a way that combines a holistic lifestyle, yoga, meditation, sport, nutrition and more.

"Freediving is not just for "superheroes." It is open to anyone who is interested in diving in - both to the depths of the water and to the depths of their soul. Whether you choose to dive to a depth of 10 meters or 110 meters, the personal feeling is what defines you as a free diver. If you feel this connection - you are already there."
We chose the Apnea Total method because of its global reputation and ability to make freediving accessible to everyone, while maintaining high standards of instruction and safety. Founded in 2004 in Thailand, the method leads the field of freediving in the world and is currently operating in dozens of international schools. It emphasizes a personalized approach that allows each person to realize their goals and become a free diver.
In collaboration with the Freedive Israel community, we promote freediving in Israel as a holistic way of life, combining conscious breathing, meditation, physical activity and a balanced diet, alongside a deep connection to the marine environment and the inner powers of the body and mind.
