Yes, basic swimming ability is required. However, you don't need to be an exceptional swimmer. The minimum requirement is the ability to swim 100 metres continuously or 200 metres using a mask, snorkel, and fins. While we don't teach swimming during our courses, we do provide guidance on specific freediving techniques such as streamlining and finning. ### Is there a minimum or maximum age for attending courses or training? Participants must be 16 years or older, with parental or guardian consent for those under 18. There is no upper age limit. As long as you're in good health and can complete our medical release forms, you're welcome to join. ### Do I need previous diving or scuba diving experience to attend? For training sessions, you must have completed an intro/AIDA 1 course or equivalent. To see the other courses we have to offer, please scroll to the bottom of this page. ### Should I not eat before the diving session? We recommend avoiding large meals before your course to prevent energy and oxygen being diverted to digestion, which you'll need for breath holds. However, do eat something, as low blood sugar can negatively impact your freediving performance. ### Is freediving dangerous? Freediving, like any sport, carries risks if safety measures are not followed. It is completely safe as long as you never dive alone and have been properly trained. To ensure safety, we regularly practice rescue procedures, and all our instructors hold safety qualifications in addition to their freediving certifications. Participants must complete a medical health form to identify any conditions that could affect their safety. If any medical issues are present, a signed release from a doctor is required. Anyone in good health can safely enjoy freediving, and we are committed to teaching the sport responsibly. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/jet-form-builder/1c552df37fd53ddaad2f4dd96cb22650/2024/09/P6011200-Enhanced-NR-2-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 3 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
