Seychelles Amirantes Freediving and Scuba Liveaboard Expedition
Seychelles Amirantes Freediving and Scuba Liveaboard Expedition
8 Days • 10 - 19 March 2027
Dive with Freediving Seychelles
Ten days and nine nights on a sailing catamaran from Mahé to the Amirantes, an island group about 230 km from the Seychelles' Inner Islands. After an 18 to 22-hour sail, the trip works its way around six islands: Desroches, Poivre, Ile Sud, D'Arros, St Joseph and African Banks, before sailing back to Mahé. Days combine freediving line training and equalisation work with fun dives among manta rays, sharks and turtles, plus paddle boarding, snorkelling, fishing, island walks, and yoga, breath work and meditation on board.
Far from the main islands, the rhythm of the day is set by the water. You breathe up at the surface, slip down the line and come back a little deeper each session, with the coach right beside you. Between sessions the boat is quiet: someone on a paddle board, someone asleep in the shade, the cook getting lunch ready. Evenings end with the sun dropping into open sea and nothing on the horizon but the next island.
