Freediving Focus

Whether you’re a curious snorkeler or an experienced freediver, this retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you are.

Fundiving is at the heart of the trip, with plenty of dives in some of the most stunning waters. This experience is crafted for women who love the ocean, who want to explore their potential underwater, and who crave genuine, soul-stirring adventure.

Whether you’re already certified or just beginning your freedive journey, you’ll have the chance to learn, connect, and grow together as one supportive group — sharing in every breakthrough and celebrating every moment.

No freediving experience? Perfect!
We actually prefer that you come without expectations, so you can fully immerse yourself in the learning journey. There’s no need to train or prepare in advance — just bring your adventurous spirit and we’ll guide you step by step.

If you’re not yet certified, you’ll work toward your PADI (Basic) Freediver Certification during the retreat at a special discounted rate — ensuring everyone shares the same comfort and confidence in the water.

If you’re already certified, you’ll enjoy a mix of fun dives, line sessions, and skill-building designed to help you refine technique, increase depth, and strengthen your connection with the water.

This supportive group structure means we progress together, celebrating every milestone — both above and below the surface.

Explore | Connect | Thrive

Join a group of like-minded women ready to laugh, explore, and create lifelong memories (and yes, capture a few Insta-worthy moments!) in one of the world’s most stunning destinations.

🌊 Adventure awaits — are you in?

The Vibe

This retreat is all about slowing down, connecting, and living in flow.

It’s not about the nightlife or clubs on 5th Ave. Sure, we might enjoy a margarita or two in town to celebrate, but most evenings are spent sharing stories over dinner and turning in early so we’re recharged and ready for a full day of diving.

If you’re craving a calm, intentional space filled with genuine connection and ocean energy — this is your tribe.

It’s not a party trip — it’s a soul recharge experience 

Accommodation

Conveniently located on the iconic 5th Avenue, our private apartments offer the perfect blend of comfort and convenience. You’ll be just steps away from Playa del Carmen’s shops, restaurants, grocery stores, and the beach — close enough to enjoy the vibrant energy, yet tucked into a quieter stretch of the avenue for peaceful evenings.

Each apartment is modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed for a comfortable stay. With 24-hour security, a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and cozy living room, you’ll have everything you need to relax between adventures.

We’ll have two private apartments located side by side, creating the perfect home base for our group.

You’ll enjoy your own private room and bathroom, or if you’re joining with a friend, there’s an option to share a room and bathroom (only 2 shared spots available!).
