The Discover Freediving Course is an intro to freediving in open water. It is designed for those who want to dip their toes into the world of freediving, without committing to a full certification course.

This freediving experience is specifically designed for first-time freedivers. No apnea, scuba, or spearfishing experience is required. And if you already enjoy snorkelling, this intro course will bring your snorkelling experience to a whole new level.

A Try Freediving or Discover Freediving is a 1-day introduction to the world of apnea, it’s a fun experience designed to show you what freediving feels like in Malta and Gozo’s calm, clear waters.

You will learn the core concept of freediving that will allow you to gradually and safely freedive to up to 12m. During the theory session, we will provide you with general knowledge about freediving, its disciplines and equipment. You will also learn different techniques of equalization and breathing used to increase the time spent underwater.

During the water session, you will practise what has been learned earlier in the day, such as duck diving and kicking techniques to move efficiently underwater as well as breathing and equalization techniques.

During this freediving introduction, you will feel what it’s like to properly dive on a single breath. Freediving feels calm, weightless, free and deeply immersive. It offers a unique way to experience the ocean.

We know learning to freedive might be intimidating, but the majority of beginners are actually surprised by how relaxed and natural freediving feels.

Our instructors will be with you every step of the way and our training methods can be adapted to everyone's abilities. So, at your own rhythm, you will learn freediving fundamentals such as breathing and breath holding techniques, how to fin and equalize correctly, how to be safe while having fun.

You won't be snorkelling, skin diving or spearfishing the same way anymore! Your confidence will increase and you will be able to spend more time under water to enjoy the sea life in a relaxed manner.

If your Discover Freediving experience leaves you wanting more, know that you can use this intro session as your first step into certified freediving training. The Freediver Course is the perfect progression since it builds directly on the skills you learned during the try freediving session to potentially take you to –20 m and give you a recognised freediving certification in just one more day.
