No prior experience in freediving is required. Our course is designed for complete beginners as well as those with some experience in snorkeling or spearfishing who wish to learn proper techniques and safety practices.
A moderate level of fitness is required due to the physical nature of freediving. Participants should be comfortable in water and able to handle physical activity for the duration of an 8-hour course.
The course begins with breathing exercises and theory in the morning, followed by a practical session in confined water. After a lunch break, more theory is discussed before moving to a second practical session in open water. The course typically runs from 9 am to 5 pm.
Yes, an optional pool freediving certification exam is available at the end of the course for an additional fee of £35. Please specify if you are interested in certification when booking.
Tried a freediving lesson recently and wow — what an amazing experience from start to finish 🌊✨ The breathing techniques were way easier to learn than I expected, and the whole thing was super peaceful and grounding. 100% doing it again and would totally recommend it to anyone curious about…
