Freediving In Gran Canaria: Courses & Equipment

Freediving is a fascinating sport that allows you to explore the depths of the ocean with nothing but your breath. It is also a great way to challenge yourself, improve your fitness, and connect with nature. If you are interested in learning how to freedive or improving your skills, you might be wondering where to find a good freedive club in Las Palmas, the capital of Gran Canaria. In this article, we will tell you about some of the best options available, depending on your level, preferences, and language.

Subzone Freediving Gran Canaria

If you are looking for a freedive club in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, you might be interested in Subzone, a center that offers courses and training for all levels of apnea enthusiasts.

Subzone Freediving Gran Canaria has a team of qualified instructors who can teach you the basics of freediving, as well as advanced techniques and safety procedures. You can choose from different courses that follow the standards of international organizations such as Apnea Academy, AIDA, CMAS, and Molchanovs. You can also join their regular training sessions in the pool or in the open water, where you can practice your skills and improve your performance.

However, there is one thing you should know before signing up for Subzone: the instructors don’t speak English. This means that you will need to have some knowledge of Spanish or bring a translator with you if you want to learn from them. If this is a problem for you, don’t worry, there are other options available.

They are really nice, but instructors at Subzone don’t speak English.
