Discover Qatar Diving｜Freediving, Mermaid Diving & Dive Photography

Freediving: The Ancient Practice Reimagined

Qatar's warm Gulf waters provide ideal conditions for freediving enthusiasts. With visibility often exceeding 15 meters and water temperatures ranging from 22°C in winter to 32°C in summer, our coastal environment offers perfect conditions for breath-hold diving.

Scientific Benefits of Freediving:

• Activates mammalian dive reflex, reducing heart rate by 10-30%

• Increases erythropoietin production, boosting red blood cell count

• Enhances parasympathetic nervous system activity, promoting relaxation

• Improves lung compliance and respiratory muscle strength

Our SSI-certified programs teach proper breathing techniques, safety protocols, and equalization methods, ensuring you develop skills while respecting the marine environment.
