Meet Us – Freedive Israel
At Freedive Israel, we believe freediving is much more than a sport – it's a way of discovering who we are… After experiencing, learning and teaching at freediving clubs around the world, and taking part in freediving competitions both as safety team members and as athletes, we soaked up the knowledge, experience and atmosphere, and decided to come back home and open the Freedive Israel school in Eilat.
We wanted our club to bring together everything we had learned and seen, and to be a place where we could explore and develop every aspect of freediving as much as possible – with the overarching goal of introducing this sport to as many people as we can and building an active community of skilled freedivers in Israel.
We teach freediving because we believe that:
Anyone can freedive (persistence, practice, relaxation and determination are the keys to success).
Depth and time are not the goal – they are a by-product of comfort and calm (the more we relax, the deeper we go).
Freediving is fun and enjoyable – enjoy life to the fullest, sea people, just take care of the environment, yourselves and your buddies.
Freediving is a path to healing. Be gentle and surrender to the water – water is a conductor, so let it guide you and discover a wonderful world.
Sharing and preserving knowledge matters, because together we are one great, happy freediving family.
That's why we chose to teach and certify with Apnea Total – an international freediving agency based in Thailand with some of the highest training and safety standards in the freediving world. Apnea Total teaches that freediving is an individual sport with personal goals, and that anyone can be a freediver!
Freediving isn't only for "superheroes" – it's for anyone who wants to learn about themselves, their inner world and the underwater environment. Whether you dive 10 meters or 110 meters, if you feel like a freediver – you are a freediver!
Together, Apnea Total and the Freedive Israel family are promoting freediving in Israel as a holistic way of life that combines breathing, meditation, sport, nutrition and more.
We invite you to join the family,
The Freedive Israel (FDI) team
