Mara Adventures

Based in Oban

Mara Adventures Limited was born from a deep love of the ocean. We believe in curating high-quality, safe, and enjoyable adventures in, on, or under the sea.

We are about salty adventures, wholesome fun and connections to each other and our blue planet. 

Founder, Laura McGuire, is a ranked GB freediving athlete, marine conservationist, yoga and breathwork coach and freedive instructor with over 15 years experience working under the sea and delivering expeditions.

Are you ready to unlock your human potential?

Freediving is a sport where you dive under the surface, using only your breath hold. A sport that blends mindfulness practises, body awareness and relaxation with ocean connection to enable you to access the depths in the most natural way possible. Scotland\'s beautiful underwater kelp forests, and landscapes make it the perfect place to come and learn the sport.

Learn how to freedive in the crystal clear and sheltered quarries in the Slate Isles. And level up you water confidence, snorkelling ability and body awareness.

Maybe you are ready for an Adventure? Come and join the only UK freediving liveaboard on a pirate ship, or come on an island based yoga, movement, wild swimming, foraging and breathwork retreat.
