FIND YOURSELF FREEDIVING

A new challenge in a totally new environment. Go where you never thought your body could get. Become a certified freediver with us on the ultimate diving vacation.

Hold your breath, dive deep into the sea, and feel part of the ocean itself. Freediving is a unique opportunity to explore the underwater world unencumbered, with no tank or snorkel – just the very air you breathe. It requires you to form a strong connection between mind and body – one that you may never have needed to think about before.

With time and dedication, you can gain the ability to keep yourself going for longer on a single breath – and, as a result, immerse yourself more fully in the ebb and flow of marine life.

We will show you how to connect with your mind and your breath to go deeper and stay longer under the water with nothing else but your own body. It can be a daunting prospect but, once you’re under the waves and taking in the beauty this place holds, we’re confident you’ll see why freediving is so popular around the world.

THE ULTIMATE DIVING DESTINATION ON
THE DOORSTEP OF CABO BLANCO

What makes this area the perfect place for diving? Here in the Nicoya Peninsula, our favourite sites lie in close proximity to the protected nature reserve Cabo Blanco. It is an area of stunning natural beauty covering more than 5,500 acres – 4,420 of which is off-shore, in Costa Rica’s waters.

As a result, we get to benefit from a phenomenon known as ‘spill-over’. It means that, even though we do not swim into the protected area, the sites we do visit are made special by the fact that Cabo Blanco’s diverse ecosystem is overflowing into the open waters – creating some of the most fascinating and colorful dive sites we have ever seen.

From bountiful coral to fascinating marine life, this really is the destination to head to if the raw power and beauty of nature is what motivates you to dive.

Explore it with us

The sea is like our big little sibling – we love it and take care of it so much! And we want to pass on our passion to everyone that comes to visit us – whether you are coming to learn how to dive and get a certification or enjoy new underwater adventures.

We are a multicultural team that speaks English, Spanish, and Hebrew. All of our scuba diving and freediving instructors are certified, with countless hours under the sea. Some of them even claim to have spent more time underwater than on land! And yes, as you can see, we are also fun.

We can’t wait to meet you!

RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, NATURE, AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY

We are a community of divers and freedivers who seek to explore the underwater treasures of Costa Rica, and share our passion for the sea with our visitors. The best diving holidays bring you face to face with the world below, without ever disturbing it or harming it in any way.

That’s why we consider ourselves one with nature; because we are part of it, not on top of it. That is why, whatever we do, we do it with nature in mind, always making sure we leave each place in the same state as we found it.

We leave the underwater creatures alone – we don’t touch them, feed them, or try to catch them. We are only the spectators of the beautiful marine life show.

We are also committed to giving back to the local community as a sign of gratitude for their help and support in making Ananda happen.

Sharing, being grateful and living in harmony with nature are our core values, and we want you to be part of this during your time exploring Costa Rica’s diving spots with us.
