PRIVATE DIVE EXPERT
I don't sell trips.
I dive with you.
If I'm not the one in the water with you on a planned dive, that dive is not charged.
No conditions.
This is for you if
✓ You're a certified diver with real experience, and you're tired of trips that don't match your level.✓ You've done liveaboards or group dive centres and left feeling the experience could have been much more.✓ You value your time, your safety and your privacy, and you're willing to invest properly in all three.✓ You want someone in the water with you who makes decisions based on your dive, not on a schedule.✓ You've thought about a specific destination, example: Red Sea, Baja California, Maldives, El Hierro; but you don't want to figure it all out alone.
This is not for you if
-You're looking for the cheapest option, a group tour, or a standard dive package. There are excellent operators for that. I'm not one of them.
THE DIVER BEHIND
Carla
Private Dive Expert
I've spent over a decade working professionally in diving as an instructor, as a guide, and as the person responsible for keeping people safe in conditions that change without warning.
What I do now is different. I don't run courses. I don't manage groups. I work with one diver, or one couple, at a time, designing and leading private expeditions to the destinations that genuinely match their level and objectives.
Twenty years in the water teaches you something more useful than a list of sites you've visited: it teaches you what questions to ask, what answers to distrust, and what conditions to avoid. I vet every operator I work with against criteria most divers don't know exist. I read a dive site on paper and in person the same way because the standards don't change.
That judgment doesn't expire when a new operator opens or a better site gets discovered. It's the reason I can design an expedition anywhere in the world and stand behind it.
That's the standard. It hasn't changed in twenty years and it won't change for you.Carla-

HOW IT WORKS
Three Steps. One Experience.
01
We Talk
30 minutes. I learn your level, your experience, your objectives. What's worked on past trips. What hasn't. From that conversation, I know exactly what kind of expedition makes sense for you and I tell you honestly if I can deliver it.
02
I Design
I build your expedition from scratch: destination, operators verified personally, daily dive plan adapted to your air consumption and comfort zone. You receive a complete itinerary before booking anything.
03
I Dive With You
We travel together. Same flights. Same hotel. Same boat. I'm in the water on every dive, reading conditions, managing logistics, capturing your moments. You focus on diving. I handle the rest.
What a private expedition actually looks like:A diver with a defined level of experience. A destination selected based on conditions that genuinely match that level — not what’s easiest to sell. A dive plan tailored to their air consumption, their pace, their objectives.I’m in the water with them on every dive. When conditions shift, I make the call.They focus on the dive. I take care of everything else.
THE SERVICE

Destination, operators verified personally, dive plan adapted to your level and objectives.

Professional photos of your dives, delivered edited after the trip.

◆Travel Coordination
We travel together. Same flights, same hotel. I'm there before you need me.
What divers say about diving with me
❝I've dived in twelve countries. What Carla does is categorically different from anything I'd experienced before. Every decision on that trip was made for my dive not for the group, not for the schedule. I came back with footage I didn't think was possible at my level.❞
R.M. — ADVANCED DIVER
180+ logged dives.
Red Sea expedition.
❝ The logistics alone were worth it. I've lost days of diving before because of bad operators, wrong conditions, poor planning. None of that happened. Every dive was exactly where it needed to be.❞
D.V. — TECHNICAL DIVER.
Liveaboard expedition, Indian Ocean.
❝ I told Carla what I wanted to achieve. She told me honestly what was realistic given my current level and then built the trip around getting me there. That kind of honesty is rare.❞
F.C. — OPEN WATER DIVER.
first international dive expedition.
-The divers I work with are professionals, executives and serious dive enthusiasts. They share their experience privately, not publicly. That's a condition I respect and enforce.

Investment
Designed for divers who have stopped counting the cost of doing it wrong.
A private expedition with Just Breathe has two components:
My professional fee covers everything I do: expedition design, operator selection, full itinerary, and my physical presence in the water on every dive.
Expedition costs: flights, accommodation, local dive fees are managed and coordinated by me, and paid directly by you. I give you a complete cost estimate before you commit to anything.
A typical 7-day expedition, including my fee and all travel costs, runs between €10,000 and €16,000 depending on destination. This is not a group tour price split between twelve people. It is the full cost of a private, fully managed diving experience.
My Fee
The presence guarantee.The daily fee buys you one thing above all else: my physical presence in the water. If for any reason I am not the one diving with you on a planned dive, that day's fee is refunded. No conditions. No fine print. It is the only way the rest of this offer is worth what it costs.
> €1,500 (expedition design) +> €800/day (in-destination presence) A standard 7-day expedition: €7,100 in professional fees.
Common Questions
◆ Do I need to be an advanced diver?
No. But you need to be a certified diver with real water experience. This is not instruction. If you're a beginner looking to learn, I can recommend excellent courses. If you're a certified diver who wants to take their diving somewhere specific, that's what I do.
◆ What destinations do you work with?
Anywhere with serious diving. Red Sea, Baja California, Maldives, Ibiza, El Hierro, Raja Ampat, Komodo, the Azores, among others. The destination is chosen based on your level, your objectives and the time of year. I don't have a catalogue. I build the itinerary from scratch.
◆ Who pays for flights and hotels?
You do, but I manage everything. I research, recommend and coordinate all logistics. You approve the plan before anything is booked. There are no surprise costs.
◆ How far in advance do I need to book?
Good dive windows book out. For peak season destinations, 4–6 months ahead is realistic. I take a limited number of expeditions per year, if a date works for both of us, the first step is a 30-minute call.
◆ Is this confidential?
Completely. I don't post client photos without explicit consent. I don't share names, destinations or details of private expeditions publicly. Several of the divers I work with have asked specifically for this. I consider it a baseline, not a favour.
Limited Availability
Not Everyone. Not Everywhere.
I take a limited number of expeditions per year. Not because of marketing because I physically cannot be in more places. If you're considering a private dive experience in the next 12 months, the first step is a conversation.
If you've read this far, you already know whether this is for you.
The next step is a conversation.
