About Fluid Focus Retreats
Born from the curious minds of people who figured paradise was the perfect lab, Fluid Focus blends freediving, yoga, and science-backed mindfulness into one immersive experience. Freediving isn’t just about depth or time — it’s about rewiring how you meet yourself.
Every dive becomes a reset for your nervous system, every breath a lesson in resilience.
Across Indonesia (and soon beyond), our retreats combine ocean training, yoga, meditation, and nutrition — curated to inspire, challenge, and leave you with skills that outlast the tan lines.From ancient pranayama to the physiology of deep-diving marine mammals, we mix modern research with timeless practices — and add just enough style (and salt) to keep things fun.
Whether you’re new to freediving or looking to fine-tune your technique, we meet you where you are… and take you deeper.
Voices From Our Freediving Community
Why We Dive
Our retreats start with a simple idea: anyone can learn to freedive — and in doing so, change the way they experience life. We’re not chasing records or depth charts; we’re exploring the art of being fully present. (And honestly, who couldn’t use more of that?)
Spend a week with us immersed in creativity, connection, and the best kind of saltwater therapy. Yes, you’ll dive with mantas, turtles, and coral gardens so healthy they feel like another planet — but the magic truly happens suspended in the endless Big Blue, where time slows and clarity finds you.
Armed with practical tools, breath training, and a little patience, you’ll leave not just as a better diver, but as someone who understands themselves — and the ocean — on a deeper level.
Retreat Inclusions and Schedule
We’ve designed these retreats so you can focus entirely on learning, exploring, and relaxing — not logistics. Expect expert instructors, nourishing meals, comfortable accommodation, and a learning environment that feels as inspiring as it is supportive. And yes, we make sure it’s genuinely worth your investment.
Your retreat includes:
Meals: Two daily meals (breakfast + lunch) plus three group dinners.
Freediving & Workshops: All course equipment, workshop materials, and park/boat fees.
Seamless Travel: Island transport from Bali to our doorstep — and back to yours.

More than Just Freediving
At Fluid Focus, freediving is the doorway — but what you find on the other side is a calmer, more regulated way of living. We weave water training with yoga, breathwork, meditation, and mindset practices, creating a retreat that feeds both the explorer and the scientist in you.
Our facilitators bring more than diving expertise; they carry years of training in physiology, mindfulness, and movement — fusing these into workshops that feel less like lectures and more like revelations. The result? A toolkit you’ll carry long after the retreat, ready to use whenever life gets noisy.
Accommodations That Fit You (and Your Sleep Style)
Whether you’re traveling solo, with a partner, or with a friend who snores, we’ve got options to keep everyone happy. All rooms include private bathrooms, hot water, air conditioning, and a calming vibe — the essentials for post-dive recovery.
We offer a limited number of shared twin rooms and can accommodate special requests with advance notice. Because we partner with different villas throughout the year, the exact space may vary — but every option is hand-picked for comfort, design, and a sense of community that matches the retreat experience.
Closer to your retreat date, we’ll share specific details and photos so you know exactly where you’ll be unpacking your fins.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. In fact, opening up the world of freediving and ocean therapy to newbies is one of our favorite things to do. Regardless of the outcome, we are confident participants will walk away with tremendous insight as to how the breath, body, and water combine to empower us. Retreats are designed to provide value to guests of all levels of experience.
-
Equalization can be a tricky part of any freediving course, but with proper preparation, time and relaxation techniques, many students can overcome this challenge. Our instructors are adeptly trained to help guests overcome a variety of obstacles. We provide resources for participants to study before the retreat, and personalized workshops and training for those who need more.
-
Believe it or not, we ask guests to leave the goals at the door (or on the boat ride over) and focus on the process. Freediving is one of the few sports we have encountered where having a strong expectation or goal can create a barrier. Instead, we approach the process with a healthy amount of action, training, and surrender. This doesn’t mean we aren’t going to work, it just means we are going to do so in a constructive manner that emphasizes the learning process.
If a goal is necessary, let it be to arm yourself with techniques that will benefit you in various walks of life, enjoy the ocean therapy, and invigorate yourself with a community of like-minded water lovers. -
We are constantly monitoring energy levels- Freediving is deceivingly exhausting. Most retreat days consist of morning yoga followed by 3-4 hours of freedive practice and training. Afternoons and evenings are reserved for workshops and personalized coaching, as well as adequate rest time. We give guests a dry day in the middle of the week to rest their ears, see the island, or partake in optional activities should they have the energy.

You bet, we crafted a mini-immersive program with our buddies at Blue Corner Freedive, lovingly called “Freedive Rehab”. This 7-day program takes people through freediving, yoga and various workshops to introduce the holistic side of the lifestyle. Find out more information on this program here.
