Freediver (FD)

The Freediver course aims at  everyone interested in learning the fundamentals of freediving, independently of their experience in the water. 

This freediving course is also the starting point for snorkelers, skin divers, scuba divers and spearfishers without a freediving certification.

The Freediver Course will cover all the skills you need to safely and comfortably free dive to a depth of up to 20 meters below the surface. Although this might sound difficult to achieve in a couple of days, you will be surprised by what you can learn from an experienced freediving instructor.

Our training methods, meaning our unique breathing techniques combined with the effective structure of this free diving course program, create the perfect environment (stress-free, supportive, fun, and educative) for a successful freediving experience.

Thanks to this certification course, your confidence under the water will increase and enable you to dive caves and wrecks while holding your breath, with no breathing apparatus needed. 

Our Freediver course runs for 2 days, each day is composed of an academic session in our training facility and an open water session.

During our knowledge development sessions, you will learn the theory behind freediving (through videos, step-by-step demonstrations, exercises, etc.) and you will practice breathing exercises. These sessions will help expand your free diving knowledge, improve your confidence and familiarize yourself with the proper techniques before the in-water practices. Because not everybody is a free diver, we will also get familiar with the freediving equipment: mask, snorkel, long fins, wetsuit, weight belt and the freediving belt.

During the water sessions, we usually have a ratio of 2 students to 1 instructor, with an absolute maximum of 3 students, allowing for greater personalized attention and teaching. The instructor always dives with each and every student. He will never wait at the surface but descend and ascend with you face to face for you to increase your confidence in your new abilities, thus making faster progress, but also to guarantee everyone’s safety.

Upon successful completion of the Freediver Course, you will be certified as an Apnea Total Freediver. We will also send you private online access to the Apnea Total Freediver Course materials so that you can maintain your freediving knowledge.
