The camp

One week.
All in.

Mornings filled with freediving on the platform. Afternoon workshops on equalisation and discipline specifics. Evening meditations as the sun drops behind the bay. And one full day away from the line — exploring reefs, waterfalls and hot springs on the Nature Island.

You'll dive with a small group of like-minded souls, coached by world championship athletes, national record holders and 90m+ divers — and leave with new depth, new skills and a professional photo and video pack to prove it.

Will there be whales?

Our logo is a sperm whale for a reason.

Dominica has an estimated 300 resident sperm whales year-round, with more visiting November through March. We work with licensed local operators to offer whale watching — or permitted swimming with the whales.
