About this tour

This two-hour experience demands breath-hold technique and physical commitment, rewarding you with an intimate encounter with both art and the marine environment. You'll move through the underwater gallery with minimal equipment, feeling the ocean's presence directly rather than observing from behind a mask.

What to expect
Freediving demands a different mindset from standard snorkelling. You'll spend time underwater in shorter, controlled bursts, learning to manage your breath and body position. The sculptures emerge gradually as you descend—some abstract, others figurative—creating an almost meditative passage through the museum. Expect periods of surface-level floating and recovery between dives. The water is temperate but unforgiving; you'll feel the ocean's rhythm rather than conquering it. This is deliberate, measured exploration, not a thrill-seeking rush.
Good to know
Reasonable fitness and healthy lungs are essential—medical clearance recommended if you have heart concerns. Bring a wetsuit for thermal protection and comfort. The experience suits those already familiar with breath-hold techniques; complete beginners may find it challenging.
