Customized, focused and fun

For those who want to maximize their learning time, Katabasis Freediving and Sailing offers private freediving, sailing and fishing lessons with a private instructor in Italy and all over the world.
All programs are customizable according to the student’s starting level, goals and available time, and can be combined for those who want to make progress in different disciplines in the time needed.
Thanks to Carlo Boscia‘s more than 30 years of teaching experience, it is possible to get the best out of a lesson in the shortest possible time, thus optimising the cost/benefit ratio.
To improve your technique through training on the cable, private freediving lessons allow for an intensive exchange of informations and a high probability of achieving your goals, with a program tailored to your needs. Thanks to the videos made during the lesson, it is possible to identify and solve problems related to both technique and emotion. Private freediving lessons are a synthesis of Katabasis Freediving and Sailing’s teaching methodology.
