PADI Freediver
Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.
To enroll in a PADI Freediver course you must be at least 18 years old. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.
The PADI Freediver course will guide you to depths of 10-16 metres in the most relaxed and safest manner possible. You will develop the skills necessary to train your body to be more efficient with breath-holding, gain better respiration and muscle flexibility and learn new skills to take your Freediving to the next level.
The PADI Freediver course is composed of three parts:
- Knowledge development through your PADI Freediver Touch™ online learning and one classroom session
- Confined water training where you learn breath-hold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea
- Open water sessions where you learn proper diving techniques of free immersion and constant weight and correct buddy and safety procedures
