Group freediving lessons
in New York City
Train alongside other divers in a small, structured group — built for people who like consistency, community, and the energy of shared progress. All sessions at St. Bart's pool, Midtown.
How group training works
Group lessons run in batches of 8 weekly sessions, 45 minutes each, in small groups capped low per pool — small enough that every diver gets real coaching, large enough that the water feels alive. You train the same fundamentals the sport is built on: breathing, relaxation, static and dynamic apnea, equalization, buddy procedure — progressing week by week with the same people.
Try it first: the group trial session
Join a single group session before committing to a full 8-week batch. Meet the instructor, feel the format, see if the group energy is yours.
Who it's for
- Beginners who prefer a shared, lower-pressure learning environment
- Improving freedivers who want regular, structured water time
- Anyone training toward certification — the group format is a full course path
Format & booking
Sessions run at St. Bart's pool (109 E 50th St) in our training windows — Tuesday evenings, Saturday mornings and afternoons, Sunday evenings. Group pricing is announced with the founding cohort; joining the list costs nothing and locks founding terms.
The group path to certification
Molchanovs Level 1 and Level 2 can be completed through group lessons — same curriculum, same certification, plus a cohort that trains together. Many divers find the group is what keeps them in the water.
