Apnea Canarias

Apnea Canarias operates from inside Puerto Deportivo de Radazul, a few metres from the sea, and has been professionally dedicated to freediving education since 2009. Radazul Bay itself is the draw: fixed training anchorages at -35m, -45m, and -60m serve course levels directly, and for divers training beyond -60m the centre runs a fast boat with a counterweight system and sonar, backed by safety freedivers on scooters. The coaching team carries genuine competitive pedigree. Miguel Lozano was runner-up in two disciplines at the 2015 AIDA World Deep Championship in Cyprus and became the first Spaniard to reach -100m Constant Weight; in 2016 he reached -122m Free Immersion, at the time the second-deepest FIM dive recorded anywhere. He coaches alongside Santiago Jakas, a former Spanish static-apnea record holder and AIDA international judge; Omar Mourad Mazzarino, a safety-team veteran of the Vertical Blue competition in the Bahamas; Daniel Calvo; and Dunia Quintero, who held the Spanish static-apnea record from 2013 to 2021. On-site facilities include hot-water showers, equipment for rent or sale, a chill-out area with a freediving library, and a theory classroom. Courses run through AIDA, SSI, and Apnea Academy, with the certifying body generally left to the student.

Apnea Canarias holds an exceptionally strong and current reputation: 5.0 on Google across 319 reviews, and 5.0 on TripAdvisor across 257, with reviews running fresh through February 2026, the highest volume and most current sample of any centre covered in this batch. Reviewers consistently name multiple staff members by first name, Dunia, Dani, Omar, Miguel, Jonas, and Paloma among them, describing an atmosphere that stays professional without losing warmth. One diver specifically credited the patience shown across a course and said they were already planning a return trip. No safety or reliability complaints turned up in the reviews available.
