        Discover your “super-powers”

        Go from a novice to being able to Freedive 10 to 16 metres deep, swim at least 25 metres horizontally underwater, and hold your breath for at least 90 seconds – in just 2 days!

        On day 1 we firstly have a short theory recap session where we cover the effect of being underwater on you the Freediver, discuss safety, and learn effective relaxation and breathing techniques to allow you to dive safely and efficiently. We then jump into the pool (heated!) to practice static and dynamic breath-hold in confined water, along with practicing safety techniques specific to Freediving.

        Day 2 sees us board the dive boat and head out to enter open water and practice various disciplines of Freediving, learning to adjust our bodies and minds, and equalize while descending to a maximum depth of 16 metres. We practice “Constant Weight” and “Free Immersion” dives and have the opportunity to also try “Variable Weight” and “Constant Weight No Fins” depending on the group and the conditions, while also learning and practicing buddy and safety techniques.

        Upon the successful completion of this course you will be certified as a
