The Gulf of Baratti: the charm of the Tuscan coastline
Katabasis Freediving and Sailing is based in Tuscany (Italy), by the Gulf of Baratti, between the Val di Cornia Parks on the Etruscan coast; a strategic position for sea lovers, right opposite Elba Island, in the heart of the Tuscan Archipelago Marine Park and in the middle of the Cetacean Sanctuary.
COURSES AND TRAINING
Starting from the characteristic small port of Baratti, it is possible to train on the cable or take Freediving and Spearfishing courses in an uncontaminated environment that will surprise you with its beauty. We are also the departure point for freediving and sailing cruises to discover Elba Island and the Tuscan Archipelago Marine Park. We play at home here!
RECREATIONAL FREEDIVING AND SNORKELING
If you love nature and simply want to get to know it and understand it better, don’t miss the chance to discover the seabed of the Etruscan Coast and Elba Island by doing Recreational freediving. And if you want to involve the whole family, take part in a snorkeling excursion during which a Katabasis Freediving and Sailing guide will involve you in a short lesson on the marine environment.
