“The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever,” said Jacques Cousteau. This magic becomes real when you explore the underwater world.
Welcome to Delphy Pool, Cornwall’s top spot for freediving! Our unique inland quarry is in the heart of Cornwall. It offers a perfect place for your AIDA certification journey.
Our freediving training stands out for more than just our 37-metre depth. It’s our outstanding facilities and expert instructors. Oliver Cacioppo and Matt Hill are certified and highly skilled.
Our AIDA 2 course is ideal for those moving from beginners to intermediate. We’ve designed everything to support your learning. It’s where adventure and expertise meet in a supportive environment.
World-Class Training Infrastructure for AIDA 2 Freediving Course Success
At Delphy Pool, we’ve built training facilities that match the best freediving centres worldwide. Our focus on quality is seen in every part of our setup. This former granite quarry is now the top place for your aida freediving certification journey.
The unique geology of our site ensures safe and effective breath hold training. Unlike ocean training, our controlled environment removes distractions. Every detail is designed to help you become a certified freediver.
37-Metre Fixed Platform with Four Professional Training Lines
Our highlight is the 37-metre fixed platform for intermediate freediving training. It offers depth similar to ocean sites but with the safety and consistency needed. The platform has four professional training lines for the best learning conditions.
These lines are more than ropes; they’re your path to mastering equalisation and building confidence. Each line is checked and kept in top shape for reliable training. The lines are spaced for students to train together without getting in each other’s way.
Counter Ballast System for Safe Deep Training
Our counter ballast system is a safety innovation that enhances training. It changes deep training for your AIDA diving journey. The system helps with safe descents and ascents, letting you explore safely.
The counter ballast removes fear, helping you focus on technique and breath holds. It’s key for apnea exercises that need precise depth control.
Instructors use this equipment to show proper form and give feedback. It’s like a safety net that lets you push limits while staying in control.
Comprehensive Learning Environment Beyond the Water

Our instructors teach you relaxation and breathing exercises. These complement your water training, helping you learn to freedive confidently.
Premium Facilities Including Hot Showers and Changing Rooms
After training, comfort is key. Our hot showers help prevent chill and improve performance. The changing rooms offer a private space to get ready.
These facilities are more than just comforts. They help keep you focused and energised during your apnea course. Every detail is designed to support your AIDA 2 freediving journey.
