PRESENCE AT DEPTH

Progress through softness,

awareness and self mastery

OUR METHOD

A Method Built from Experience

Our approach was born from curiosity, patience and listening. Instead of relying on constant guidance, we chose a different path, one where progress was felt, not dictated. We explored depth without a coach, allowing the ocean, the breath and our own curiosity to guide us.

Through this journey, we discovered something essential:
every diver has his own rhythm, fears, physiology , and the potential to become his own teacher.

Today, this philosophy shapes our method.
We combine:

  • advanced freediving techniques

  • emotional regulation

  • meditation and breathwork

  • Qi Gong and yoga

to support divers in developing awareness, autonomy and confidence, both in the water and within themselves.

This is freediving not as performance, but as a research towards self mastery, presence and inner alignment.

Qi Gong for Freedivers

Una progettazione accurata per valorizzare ciò che conta di più.

a practice where movement becomes meditation, where strength arises without force and calm remains even as constraint increases

We are Martino and Louise, the founders of DIVE IN APNEA.  Our freediving journey began with goals, numbers, and the pursuit of depth. Reaching 100 meters once felt like the ultimate measure of mastery, something that could be earned through strength, technique, training, and control.

But as we progressed, we realised that depth is not reached by physical preparation alone.

The true challenge lies in the inner world, in the emotions, beliefs, and subconscious patterns that shape how we breathe, relax, and surrender to pressure. Often, it wasn’t the technique holding us back, but resistance rooted in fear, doubt, or tension we didn’t yet understand.

So instead of pushing harder, we learned to listen.

Through Qi Gong and emotional awareness, meditation, breathwork and yoga, we discovered a new way of diving, softer, grounded, and deeply connected.

Freediving became more than a sport.
It became a mirror, a teacher, and a path inward.

Now, this is what we share:
not just skills, but tools for inner alignment, so depth comes naturally, through presence rather than force.
