About the Course

The Freediver Course is your first step into the world of exploring the ocean on a single breath. You’ll gain the knowledge, confidence, and techniques to discover what your body is truly capable of.

Day 1: Pool Certification
Includes freediving theory, breathwork and relaxation techniques, and a coached pool session where you'll learn the foundational skills to become a safe and confident freediver.

Day 2: Ocean Certification
Join us in the open ocean to apply the skills you’ve learned and develop new ones, beginning your journey to explore greater depths. Our experienced instructors will support you every step of the way.

To complete the full certification, we will help you to achieve:

• Static breath hold: 1 min 30 sec 
• Dynamic apnea with fins: 25–30m
• Dive with fins to 10–12m depth (Only Ocean - Full Course)

• Self-rescue skills in both pool and ocean
• Rescue skills in both pool and ocean
