Apneaman Training Camp

We invite you to train with us at the Apneaman Training Camp Barbora 2023. We will focus on open water training on buoys, equalization, technique, stretching and relaxation, as well as mental training. In the evening we’ll do barbecue, talk, discuss ... The training takes place in parallel with the club event "Apnea weekend 2023" at the best training location in the Czech Republic, the Barbora quarry. That’s the reason you will meet the best Czech freedivers here, such as world champions Gabriela Grézlová and Kateřina Šuranská and others.

The quarry is approximately 6 km far from Teplice, i.e. ca. 90 km far from Prague. Our freediving APNEAMAN club rented the whole training centre for the period from 2st till 4rd June. There are 6 bedrooms, sanitary facilities, a kitchen, a common room, a big garden, where tents can be put up, a fireplace with benches ... There is a pub close to the training centre, where you can go for a lunch or a dinner. This year we reserved a cottage of divers from Most with 10 more beds.

The cottage is situated only 50 - 60 metres far from water and there is a smooth entry into the water via a big steel pontoon. Maximum depth we have ever found in Barbora is 60 m! Water temperature and visibility depend on wind conditions. Last year on the same date, surface water temperature was 20-22 ºC and deep water temperature was classically 4 ºC. It was light 40 m below water surface. Depth 40 – 50 m is ca. 100 m from the pontoon :-)

Training camp will not only be about training, we will also dive at local attractions! Close to the shore there is a sunken Warburg 7 m below water surface and a caisson 9 m below water surface and there are training platforms for scuba diving in various depths. There is also a swamped forest where you can see many fish when visibility is good. You can commonly see here pikes and perches and on the platforms you can often see zanders.

There are at least five complete buoys at disposal on the water during the whole event.
