À PROPOS DE L'ACTIVITÉ
The UCPA diving school offers all types of freediving courses: introduction, training, exploration. Here, there is no search for performance, it is the pleasure of being underwater listening to your body that takes precedence. Whatever your age, you will find courses for all desires and all levels, in our diving pools, or in a natural environment on the best practice spots in France or abroad.
You can obtain freediving certificates from beginner to advanced (swimming pool and open water) from the FFESSM (French Federation of Underwater Studies and Sports) at our French centers and abroad. These patents give you the equivalent of the international certificates of the CMAS (World Confederation of Underwater Activities).
With its state-of-the-art facilities, our training center in Niolon allows you to learn or improve your skills in apnea in the best conditions.
