What if your next adventure started with a single breath?
This 7-day beginner-friendly freediving camp is designed for curious travelers who want to learn something new, challenge themselves, and connect with an incredible community along the way.
Spend 5 days in Dahab, one of the world's most iconic freediving destinations, learning the fundamentals of freediving in the crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea with Khaled El Gammal, Egypt's deepest freediver and one of the country's most accomplished athletes. The first Egyptian to break the 100m barrier, Khaled has spent years competing on the international stage and pushing the limits of what's possible underwater. Now he's sharing that knowledge with you.
But this camp is about more than freediving.
Between training sessions, we'll explore the Blue Lagoon, share a beach BBQ, sing at karaoke night, perform (or cheer) at open mic night, and enjoy a mountain music night under the stars. The kind of moments that turn strangers into friends.
Then we'll head to Cairo for 2 days of culture and adventure, exploring the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and some of the city's must-see spots before wrapping up the week together.
One price. One breath.
Everything taken care of.
Your bed, every meal, all the water time, the gear, the Red Sea excursions and the whole social calendar — sorted. You just relax and breathe.

Never freedived before? This is the full AIDA 2 course. You'll learn breath-up, equalisation, rescue and the mental calm that makes depth feel effortless — and leave internationally certified, comfortable at 12–20m.

I came not knowing if I could hold my breath for 30 seconds. By Friday I touched 16 metres on one breath. The calm these coaches teach you stays with you on land.

The Blue Hole at dawn with this crew is a religious experience. Safety was flawless — one coach per diver on the line, every single time.

Dahab is the most relaxed place I've travelled solo, and the camp made it instant friends. Bedouin lunch at Abu Gallum was the trip highlight.
