Discover the freedom of breath and the vibrant marine life of Villefranche-sur-Mer with small-group shore-based sessions.
Aiga Viva is a freediving and snorkeling school operating out of the Passable Beach area in Villefranche-sur-Mer on the French Riviera. The operator runs guided introductory sessions for both disciplines directly from the shore, emphasizing small group sizes (maximum 4 students per buoy for freediving) to ensure personalized instruction. The freediving program includes a half-day introductory experience that combines dryland breathing workshops with in-water practice at a legendary spot known for its history of elite athletes. Participants can progress through scheduled sessions or private coaching tailored to specific technical needs, such as equalization and relaxation methods. All equipment is provided free of charge, including wetsuits, fins, masks, and weights. For those interested in observing marine life without the commitment of freediving training, guided snorkeling tours explore the rich biodiversity of the bay. These excursions highlight local species like wrasses, octopuses, and Posidonia seagrass while promoting a respectful approach to the ecosystem.
