Its location in Barcelona makes our freediving centre the ideal place to train in the Mediterranean. The sea in front of Port Fòrum offers excellent conditions for freediving: clear water, mild temperatures for most of the year, and easy access to depth just minutes from the coast. This allows for training in a realistic and demanding environment for those looking to push their limits.
Our team of instructors is made up of professionals with extensive experience in deep dives and recognised at a European level, positioning Vertical Freediving as a leading freediving centre on the continent. Here, we not only teach breathing and safety techniques, but also cultivate the spirit of freediving, combining discipline, technique, and respect for the sea.
