Meet the Pranamaya Freediving Team

A passionate team of AIDA instructors, ocean explorers and community builders in Playa del Carmen.

Our Philosophy: Teaching Freediving With Heart and Authenticity

A Mindful, Human and Safety-Driven Approach to Freediving

At Pranamaya, freediving is more than a sport — it’s a way to reconnect with yourself, with nature and with a supportive community.

Our school welcomes beginners and advanced divers alike. Our freediving instructors in Playa del Carmen combine professional AIDA standards, a calm teaching style and a family-like atmosphere where everyone feels safe, encouraged and inspired.

Whether you join us for a course, a cenote dive or a training session, you’ll experience freediving the way we believe it should be: mindful, joyful and deeply human.
