Apneista, with its brand new facility, will be your home during the retreat. You’ll enjoy the sweeping views of Amed and Mount Agung while learning the art of mindfulness meditation and advanced visualisation techniques for freediving. The location provides access to three wrecks, including the US Liberty Wreck at Tulamben, all accessible from shore and offering great freediving for all levels.
In addition to world-class freediving, Bali Amed offers visitors a unique cultural experience, with traditional Balinese villages and temples to explore, as well as a variety of restaurants and cafes serving delicious local cuisine.

Yes, as any overseas trip you will require your own personal travel insurance.

No, there is wifi at most places, however it is very simple to get a sim card at the airport for relatively cheap – I would recommend it! Whatsapp is what most people use to communicate over there.
Accommodation options we recommend that are close – Sama Sama, Bamboo Bali hill, Bamboo Bali, Amed Cafe, Divers Cafe.
We have a driver who can give you transport at a reasonable price on Whatsapp.
Scooter hire is available, please also hire a helmet. Amed is a quiet town that is reasonably safe to scooter around slowly and it’s an easy and convenient way to get from from hotel to the dive centre. We will hire cars for longer trips.
We used Adam for our National Kawasaki Dealers Conference for our keynote speaker. His presentation was informative, gave us real world strategies to deal with stress and anxiety, yet was also hilarious. We will definitely look to use Adam in the future.
I worked with Adam and The Pressure Project, through one of the most turbulent times in my life. Freediving and the principles that come with diving deep on one breath has set me on a new course, one that will help me live a more present and peaceful life both through my cricketing career and beyond. Highly recommend Adam and his team.
I contracted Adam to work with my swimmers. His input has helped many of my squad not only deal with the pressure that comes with being an elite athlete but also everyday life for young men and women in this stressful world.
Adam Sellars’ course changed my life. The skills and techniques I now use help me achieve my best both in and out of the pool.
