Women
of the Water Kuata, Fiji

This is more than a freedive training retreat. It’s five days and four nights on Kuata Island in Fiji’s Yasawa group, designed by women, for women, to slow down, reconnect with the ocean, and let the water guide you in a supportive learning environment .

Every guide, safety diver, and freediving instructor is female, so there’s no explaining yourself and no adjusting to someone else’s comfort level, just women who are excited to be in the water together.

We will be staying at Barefoot Kuata Resort, a luxurious 5-star accommodation with mouthwatering cuisine and impeccable service. Unwind in our cosey twin share beachfront bungalow accommodation, where you wake up on the beach listening to he waves lap the shore

Built for Women, Led by Women

Supportive female freedive instructors for every level. This retreat has been designed by women exclusively for women, from the instructors on the water to the itinerary itself.

Whether you’ve never held your breath below the surface or you’re chasing a personal best, our female instructors tailor the coaching to you. Level 1 and Level 2 certifications are available, along with daily line sessions in water with up to 30 metres of visibility, all among protected reef, coral gardens, and swim-throughs, with the chance of reef sharks.

An all inclusive package includes five days and four nights twin share accommodation at Barefoot Kuata Resort, one of Fiji’s most talked about diving locations, spent freediving with reef sharks, learning to move like a mermaid, and coming home with gorgeous underwater photos to prove it.

Mermaid Swims & An Underwater Flow Photoshoot

This is your chance to connect with your true inner mermaid, this retreat has dedicated professional underwater photoshoots either in a mermaid tail or a gorgeous flowy dress, in some of the clearest water you’ll ever swim in.

The flow photoshoot will capture you in your true mermaid essence underwater, mermaid tails will be provided for a professional underwater photoshoot capturing the whole thing, reef, tail, maybe a curious shark in the background.

Partner Floating Therapy, Water Meditation, Underwater Stillness

Unwind & relax in the calm tropical waters this floating therapy is a way to come back to the simplicity of your breath & will help your nervous system reset between dives. Somewhere between a massage and a meditation, this is one-on-one bodywork done floating in warm water, mask, snorkel and noodle, fully supported while you move through the water.

For freediving, this deep relaxation, long calm exhales, and trust in the water are the foundations of every good dive, and the practice lets you feel them in your body so you can find them again on your dives.

A COMMUNITY OF OCEAN-LOVING WOMEN, AND THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT FOLLOW

We all come from different backgrounds but its the ocean that brings us together as a supportive sisterhood. Travelling solo? You’ll fit right in. Friendships form fast over breakfast and dive debriefs, and by the last night you’ll be swapping numbers with buddies for your next trip.
