Freediving Retreats in Thailand — Dive Deeper into Body, Mind & Ocean

Orenda Freediving Retreats go beyond diving. Whether you're a beginner or experienced, we invite you to explore your limits and reconnect with your breath, body, and the ocean.

Freediving teaches awareness, resilience, and trust. It’s a way to slow down, breathe deeply, and grow through calm, not force.

In the water, we learn to listen to our bodies, embrace discomfort gracefully, and trust ourselves fully. Freediving invites us to find balance in a fast-paced world.

Water has a unique power to heal. In its depths, we learn patience and the beauty of letting go. We grow not by pushing harder but by tuning in and finding calm in the face of challenges and joy in the journey.

Orenda Freediving Retreat Training

Join us for a transformational freediving retreat in Thailand, where you’ll reconnect with your breath, body, and the wild beauty of the sea. Each day combines expert freedive coaching, immersive training, and deep inner work from yoga, strength training, and pranayama to meditation, static apnea, and specialized workshops. Guided by our highly experienced instructors, never fresh out of training but seasoned professionals with years of real-world depth and teaching behind them.

Dive vibrant coral reefs, explore underwater caves and shipwrecks, and experience the ocean like never before. Enjoy nourishing breakfasts and lunches each day. This isn’t just a retreat, it’s a personal journey into the self, the breath, and the deep blue.

*Participants also have the option to complete their Beginner or Advanced freediving course as part of the retreat experience.

Breakfast and lunch are included each day, except on the rest day. Dinners are at your own expense, and a variety of excellent local restaurants are nearby.

Apnea Games: A Playful Freediving Competition

On the final day of retreats, we host the Apnea Games, a fun, inclusive freediving competition designed for all levels. Unlike traditional competitions, the Apnea Games focus on safety, self-awareness, and teamwork over depth or records.

Each discipline encourages careful preparation, calm execution, and mindful diving. With unique rules and an element of unpredictability, even beginners have a chance to shine and win! It’s a joyful way to celebrate the week, challenge yourself, and connect with your fellow divers before we part ways. A farewell dinner will be held on the final evening, bringing our retreat to a close with connection and celebration.
