Apnea Masterclass by MAALO

APNEA
Freediving Masterclass

14-16TH OCT ´26

3-Day Free-diving Masterclass
with Montserrat Peart – A 19-time National Record Holder

Train alongside Montserrat Peart, Mexico’s national record holder in freediving. With a 90m depth record and 19 national titles, Monse brings extraordinary expertise to the water. This masterclass cuts through the noise and invites us to reset, trust, and return to ourselves.

The Flow

Day 1: The Foundation
We’ll cover the theory in the morning and move into dry apnea and stretching to get the body ready. From there, we move into the pool sessions for static and dynamic work, with light, healthy snacks earlier in the day and a satisfying lunch afterwards prepared by Chef Roberto Madero.

Day 2: Into the Blue
We head out by boat to a designated open-water spot for a depth session to put the technique into practice.

Day 3: Mastery & Certification
Spend the morning exploring the depths, then round off the experience with the theoretical exam.

Who is this for?

This is designed for watermen and women, both beginners and experienced freedivers, spearfishers, and aspiring apneists who seek more than a qualification. It offers the discipline of high-level performance, enabling you to break through your own plateaus and explore new methods that carry into daily life outside the water.

The Outcome

The result is a complete shift in underwater confidence and technical efficiency. Beyond certification, the takeaway is a mastery of breath-hold mechanics and the ability to move through the water with the calm of a national champion.
