  • Breath-Hold Techniques: You’ll learn and practice breath-hold techniques, including static and dynamic apnea.

  • Safety Procedures: Proper buddy procedures are emphasised to ensure safety during practice.

• Equipment Used:

  • Basic Gear: You’ll use a mask, snorkel, and fins. A wetsuit and weight belt may also be used.

  • Freediving-Specific Gear: While you can use snorkelling equipment you already own, gear designed specifically for freediving is recommended.

• Certification:

  • Upon completing the course, you’ll have developed solid freediving skills for pool or confined water environments
