Amancay Freediving has found its home in the deep, wild waters of Cabo San Lucas. The Caribbean chapter is still close to our heart — and for private, tailor-made experiences in the Riviera Maya, we're still here.
For years, we called Playa del Carmen home — and in many ways, we still do. The cenotes, the walls, the blue-green light of the Caribbean. It was the water that shaped us, in all its forms. In 2015, Candelaria and Lucrecia founded Amancay Freediving with a single belief: that water has a way of making everything feel exactly right.
Now, we've carried that belief across the peninsula to Baja California Sur, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific and something extraordinary waits beneath the surface. Our school is in Cabo San Lucas — and it's where our courses, expeditions, and full programme now live.
"My goal is to make you feel freediving is the easiest thing to ever do." — Candelaria
Our full programme — courses, day experiences, and expeditions — is now based in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur. Visit amancayfreediving.com for everything we offer.
If you're in the Riviera Maya and you're looking for something beyond the ordinary — we can still create it. Private sessions, custom water experiences, and bespoke itineraries are available by request. These aren't off-the-shelf packages. They're built around you.

Absolutely. Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes unique to the Yucatán Peninsula — a completely different world to ocean freediving, and a remarkable one. Private cenote experiences are available by request.
