Our 3rd of Cenote Freediving Training Camp is back!
Your main coach Matthieu Duvault, with guest coach Vitomir Maricic, will share their experience and knowledge acquired through years of teaching and competitive freediving.
This edition will follow the print of last year’s edition, improved and slightly longer (9 days total, with a dry day on day #5).
The training camp is focusing on depth training and equalization. That is the reason we will dive only our Laguna Kaan Luum, our deepest cenote around Tulum.
Included is 8 training sessions, 7 workshops / lectures, access to gym and ice bath on lectures day, transportation from the school to the cenote, snack post line dive sessions days and a touristic activity on the day off.

Who is it for?
Any freediver certified via any international agencies (Aida, Molchanovs, SSI…) All certified levels are welcome, and will be coached accordingly to their levels. That said, this camp would be more interesting for freedivers ideally already comfortable past 20/30 meters. If you are not sure, feel free to share your experience via email and ask for advices.
Who this is NOT for:
If you are not yet certified, we invite you to separately book your Wave 1 with us or in the area of your choice before October, and ideally spend some time training and developing your skills, in pool, depths, dry etc… Or otherwise to plan to come back October 2025 for the next edition!
How to Reserve:
Each participant is to send a little deposit of $105USD via Paypal (100USD deposit with 5% goods services fees) at the address: cenotefreediving@gmail.com
Cancellation Policy: Cancellation before September 21st 2024 will receive a refund of the full amount transferred minus the transaction fees involved both ways. If already opened, the “Equalization Base Training Program” will also be deducted at retail cost. Cancelations passing that dates will not receive a refund of the deposit.
What to Pack:
Bring your own freediving gear, water temperature will be around 30C at the surface, and 26C below 10 meters. Don’t forget your lanyard! Although we will have an assortment of rental and purchasable gear available for those missing something, resources will be upon availability.
Molchanovs set of gear rental will be charged 1500mxn for the duration of the camp.
To rent a car?
All transport as part of the Training Camp will be arranged between Cenotes and our school based in Tulum town, suburb Tumbenkaa, next to Hotel Bardo and Laggoon boutique hotel, so I could suggest basing yourself nearby. The beach front, while being very beautiful, is not the most convenient stay for this type of event, the access road being always cluttered.
