What is freediving?
Freediving is the practice of diving underwater without the use of breathing equipment. This activity is meant to push your boundaries both physically and mentally; it is also incredibly enjoyable. Plunging deep into the water and feeling the strength of your body and mind is often a surreal experience that everyone must try at least once in their lives. Freediving has many health benefits, it can be enjoyed casually or competitively, and it is an inclusive activity that anyone can succeed in.
​
Chicago Freediving has been safely helping people discover the beauty of this sport and get into the best diving shape for 4 years, and we would love to guide you on your journey through the deep!

CHICAGO FREEDIVING CANCELLATIONS
There are times when it is not safe to dive due to adverse weather conditions (like thunderstorms, strong winds, extreme temperature, etc.) When a class is canceled due to weather or other circumstances beyond Chicago Freediving instructor control we try our best to accommodate the needs of the students. We offer the option to pay $25 in order to hold a dive spot in upcoming class (as the numbers permit). When the availability is open you are welcome to pay the $25, and join for any open water class you need in order to complete your certifications.
