Freediving in Belgium
Including TODI. On the map.
The vibe
The calm, clear waters provide an intimate connection with the underwater world, allowing for longer breath-hold experiences. Summer provides the most stable conditions, though winter can be quieter for those seeking solitude. Freedivers often join small clubs or local groups, creating a close-knit, community feel.
