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.
