WHO WE ARE
WHAT WE DO
Our commitment is built on fundamental pillars that combine sport, safety, and culture:
Freediving and Scuba Diving: We organize freediving courses and training, as well
as scuba diving activities for all levels. Our teaching method combines technique
with breath management and mental well-being.
Safety and Continuous Training: Safety is our top priority. We offer specific
courses on sea safety and stay constantly updated on international best practices
and standards.
Federal Training (FIPSAS): We actively collaborate with our federation, FIPSAS, to
organize training courses for aspiring Instructors and Coaches, contributing to the
growth of future professionals in the field.
Workshops and Outreach: We regularly promote technical workshops and
seminars to delve into every aspect of aquatic disciplines. We firmly believe that the
marine environment can only be truly protected through knowledge.
Events and Territory: We create gathering spaces and creative initiatives to
enhance the Trieste area and give a voice to those who live the sea with respect and
admiration.
YOUR GATEWAY TO THE UNDERWATER WORLD
La Parola del Mare Club is an Amateur Sports Association based in Trieste (Italy), born from a
visceral passion for the blue and for deep-sea disciplines. We are not just a school, but a
community of athletes who experience the sea as a space for exploration, personal
growth, and profound environmental respect.
We are deeply connected to our local area and the Gulf of Trieste, a unique ecosystem
that we love to explore and share, promoting the beauty and biodiversity of our coastline.
European Freediving Photography Award
The Initiative
This competition was created to celebrate the sea through the lens. We want to capture
the moment light breaks the surface, the silence of the deep, and the pure emotion of
those who submerge in a single breath.
Why Participate?
We are not just looking for technical perfection, but for the story. We invite underwater
photographers, freedivers, and dreamers to share their interpretation of the “word” of the
sea: that silent message that the water whispers to those who know how to listen.
Our Charity Calendar
For the past two years, our club has produced a calendar built entirely from underwater and freediving photography — images from our club and from the wider freediving community. It is distributed by free-will donation: everyone gives what they feel is right.
Every euro raised — the full amount, with no costs deducted — is donated to the Neonatology Department of IRCCS Materno Infantile Burlo Garofolo, Trieste’s children’s and maternal hospital. The European Freediving Photography Award grows from the same spirit: photography as a way to give back to what the sea, and the people around us, give to us first.
