Why freedive in central Çanakkale?

Central Çanakkale sits in a unique geography where the Dardanelles Strait meets the Gulf of Saros. The clear waters here offer a rich underwater environment shaped by current dynamics. Our experienced guides understand the importance of current awareness and always direct you to the most sheltered, suitable spots, so you feel the vitality of the strait while staying safe.

What awaits you in this experience?

Your experience begins with a detailed breathing and safety briefing on land, with special attention to reading currents and entering and exiting the water. Your guide teaches relaxation and how to stay calm underwater. You then enter shallow water at a sheltered spot where the current is weakest and try your first breath-hold dives.
