HOW IT WORKS
Patience Is Key
Patience Is Key
Theory
Touchdown's freediving philosophy is unique, combining science and mindfulness through theory lessons that prepare you mentally and physically for freediving. This is delivered through daily lectures and classes that provide deeper insights into technique, physiology, and mindset.
Practice
We don't just teach freediving - we live it. Each instructor logs up to 15,000 dives a year, helping students put our theory to practice in real-time. You'll spend hours in the water with professional instructors and safety teams there for you through every step of your diving journey. You'll practice at one of the most famous dive sites in the world - Egypt's Blue Hole, where divers can reach up to 92m deep.
Repetition
Repetition is key to unlocking your freediving potential. By practicing dry and in-water training throughout your tailored weekly schedule, you'll engage neuroplasticity, helping your brain and body adapt for deeper, and more efficient dives. This process helps improve your technique and relaxes the nervous system, making each dive easier, more effortless, and subsequently deeper.
Results
Our favourite part! By remaining consistent in your training and commitment, results are inevitable. Touchdown's expertise provides you with the structure, knowledge and tools you need to take your diving deeper, but the real transformation comes from the work you put in. Your dream is our goal — and together, we can make that a reality.

- Just like your water days, our dry days start with an hour-long yoga session specifically designed for freedivers. The focus in these sessions is to encourage recovery while enhancing flexibility, breath control and lung capacity.
YOGA
REFINEMENT
- Return for an evening of masterclasses, lectures and workshops in the classroom and on our rooftop. This will conclude with group EQ training and guided breathwork.
Touchdown’s dry days are just as important as our water sessions and will help extend your breath-hold, enhance relaxation, and prepare for deeper dives. You'll have more free time on these days, but we also encourage active recovery and dry training. Remember, freediving is 80% mental and physiological adaptation. We help you hone these skills through tailored dry-day sessions. You’ll return to the next Water Day with improved equalisation, breath control, and focus.
REFINEMENT
- In the evening meet for technique refinement sessions. This includes bespoke workshops and lectures to learn more about how to tailor your diving specifically to your needs. There’s also group EQ practice with EQ training tools like ‘the bubbler’.
- Conclude the evening with a group guided breathwork session to help calm the nervous system and ease into the evening. This includes some light breathholds, and concludes around 8pm.
- Enjoy lunch with fellow divers at Aqua Marina restaurant and reflect on the session with your buddies. Touchdown can provide you with nutritional guidance to help support your lung function and recovery.
- Travels back to Dahab, after which students are encouraged to rest and decompress for a few hours (it’s very common to nap after intense water sessions, and we encourage it). Afternoon schedules vary but we also offer optional active recovery sessions every day, including bike rides, workouts, and sauna/ice bath sessions.
- More than two hours of training in the water with elite coaches and on state-of-the-art freediving equipment. These sessions are all about depth progression and technique refinement.
- Each student’s training schedule is tailored toward their needs and will start with warm-up dives focusing on relaxation and technique.
- Move onto progressive depth training tailored to your comfort and goals and may work on targets like freefalling technique, relaxation at depth, and mental adaptation.
- Start with early-morning guided yoga sessions at the school, focusing on targeted movements that improve flexibility, breath control, and lung capacity. Then take a scenic 20-minute drive to the Blue Hole to begin our sessions.
- Before getting into the water, complete breathing and equalization training drills designed to optimize your Frenzel and Mouthfill techniques. Groups practice several breath hold exercises to enhance lung efficiency, flexibility of breathing muscles, and relaxation.

To get the best experience at Touchdown, you need to be prepared. Here are some reminders to help ensure you are ready.
Do I have the right gear?
Although Dahab is a freediving hotspot, there are few places to buy freediving equipment. Make sure you have selected freediving gear that fits you and is comfortable, and have tried on your fins, mask, and wetsuit before arriving. Remember that the time of year in Dahab will impact the water temperature (from 21-31 degrees).
If you're looking for the right swimsuit, remember that we partner with Makara Swimwear and stock a range of swimwear in our store.
Am I fit to dive?
Freediving is a physically and mentally demanding activity that places unique pressure on your body. Make sure you're in good health before you train.
If you're experiencing a cold, sinus congestion, or respiratory issues, you may find it difficult or even dangerous to dive. Before joining a course or training session, you should be:
Am I rested?
Touchdown’s training cycle is intense, so we advise that you be well-rested before coming to train. We think it's best to give yourself a few extra days in Dahab before starting your course so your body can adjust after travel, adapt to the weather, and so you can familiarize yourself with your surroundings.
Am I prepared for Dahab?
As a relatively remote freediving destination, Dahab has its quirks: you might hear roosters at sunrise and calls to prayer throughout the day. These are part of the charm and rhythm of daily life in this coastal community.
The pace of life here is slow and simple, but the town has all your basic needs, like a grocery store and pharmacy.
While beachwear is acceptable in most parts of Dahab, it’s also a predominantly Muslim country, so bring something to cover up too. Being respectful of local culture not only shows courtesy but also helps maintain the welcoming atmosphere Dahab is known for.

- Comfortable in the water and able to swim

Our courses can be pretty busy. So it’s best to book a few months in advance so we can plan your training schedule.
If you’ve left it a little late, no problem! We’ll try our best to accommodate your course based on our availability. Your freediving success is our goal.
