Autonomous Training Sessions
If you’re a certified freediver and you already have a buddy. This may be a great option to get lots of dives at a great price. This option does not include one of our staff as a safety diver. It will either be someone that comes with you or another diver training autonomously. Meaning you will have to safety them for their dives too.

“AMAZING PLACE!!
I spent 2 full months at Rica Freedivers working on improving my freediving, and I couldn’t recommend this place more! I initially booked it after reading all of the amazing reviews, and it did not disappoint.”

I started with wave 1 then feeling really comfortable training with Brad I signed up for wave 2 and 3.”
