What This Is

"To go deep in the water, you must first learn to go deep within yourself."

This is not a diving course. It is not a wellness retreat. It is something rarer β€” a six-day immersion where the ocean and the inner world become one practice.

Freediving led by world-class instructor Jimmy Sandoval meets the Deep Dive Method β€” Sina's transformational coaching framework designed to uplevel your inner reality, so your outer world shifts to match.

The Heart of the Experience

Freediving β€” Conquer Your Own Limits

Freediving is the art of going deeper on a single breath β€” and it is the most powerful mirror you will ever find. Every dive is a negotiation between body and mind. Every descent asks you to surrender control, trust yourself, and find stillness in the unknown. This is where limits are discovered β€” and where they are broken.

What This Week Is Built On

Three Depths

01
🌊

The Ocean as Practice

Professional freediving training in sacred cenotes and open water. AIDA-certified instruction, breathwork, relaxation, and line work. Jimmy guides you into the underwater world with precision, safety, and deep reverence for the sea.

02
🧠

The Deep Dive Method

Sina's signature coaching framework β€” daily mindset sessions, guided visualisations, and conscious creation workshops. You'll work on raising your inner standards, expanding your identity, and aligning your external life with your highest vision.

03
✨

Sacred Integration

Temazcal ceremony, individual Aguahara water therapy, transformational breathwork, and grounding massage. Experiences placed when you are open, safe, and ready to receive the deepest transformation.

What Makes This Different

Beyond the Surface

🀿

Conquer Your Own Limits

Freediving is not just a sport β€” it is the ultimate test of who you are when comfort disappears. Every breath hold, every descent, every moment of stillness in the water teaches you something no workshop can replicate. You will go further than you believed possible, and carry that knowledge home with you.

πŸ’§

Aguahara Water Therapy

A profound rebirthing experience in the water. Held gently by your guides, you surrender β€” allowing the body to release what the mind holds on to. One private session for each person, placed at the end of the retreat when you are most open and ready.

πŸŒ€

The Deep Dive Method

Sina's transformational coaching framework works from the inside out. Each workshop is designed to dismantle the old stories, raise your inner standards, and install a new identity β€” one whose outer reality has no choice but to follow suit.

Daily guided visualisations and meditations become anchors. Transformational breathwork sessions deepen the work. By the time your grounding massage arrives on the final day, your body knows exactly what it is receiving.

πŸ”₯

Temazcal Ceremony

A traditional Mexican sweat lodge β€” dark, hot, and powerfully confronting. You will learn what you are made of when comfort disappears. This is the heart of the teaching: who are you when there is nothing to hold onto?

The temazcal and freediving work in parallel β€” both invite you to be fully present in discomfort, and both show you that you are stronger than you thought.

🧘

Transformational Breathwork

Beyond the freediving breathwork, dedicated transformational breathwork sessions are woven through the week β€” unlocking emotional patterns, expanding capacity, and preparing the nervous system for deeper experiences both in and out of the water.

Questions

Good to Know

Do I need freediving experience?
No prior experience is required. We work with all levels β€” complete beginners are welcome. Jimmy builds each student from wherever they are, and the coaching and breathwork sessions work beautifully alongside the learning curve in the water.
Is the AIDA certification mandatory?
Not at all. You can participate fully without sitting the certification. If you choose to certify, the exam (theory and practical) is woven into the retreat days.
What equipment do I need to bring?
All freediving equipment is included β€” fins, mask, snorkel, wetsuit, weights. Bring comfortable clothing, reef-safe sunscreen, a water bottle, sandals, and a little cash for personal extras.
What if weather affects the schedule?
We adapt. Locations and timings are always adjusted around safety. If a session needs to move, we move it β€” the experience will be complete either way.
Can I transfer my spot if I can't attend?
Yes. Your reservation is transferable to another person for the same retreat and date. Spots are not refundable but can be passed on.
Is the Temazcal or breathwork mandatory?
We ask you to come with an open mind, but your experience is your own. Everything is offered with care and context β€” you are always in choice.
