The Apnea Total Freediver Course is designed for any individual, regardless of aquatic experience, who is interested in the incredible experience of apnea (breath-hold) diving.

The Freediver Course enables you to dive comfortably and safely as deep as 20 meters. Our experienced team of instructors guide you through unique breathing and relaxation techniques in a supportive, non-competitive environment to ensure a successful and fun experience.

This course consists of two academic sessions and two aquatic sessions. In the classroom, instructors interact with students using demonstrations, videos, and one-on-one feedback, ensuring students master the techniques and knowledge to dive with comfort, safety, efficiency, and correct style.

In the water, instructors dive with each student, regardless of depth, to give personalized attention and feedback, and to increase their confidence and safety.

Upon completion of the Freediver Course, students will receive certification as well as private online access to the Freediver Course materials, so that you can maintain your freediving knowledge.
