The Fun Part

Freediving is the purest form of diving and gives you an incomparable feeling of oneness with the ocean! It allows you to be a silent observer of the underwater world. Come and discover your breath-holding potential and find out why freedivers truly love their sport.

Who should take this program?

If you have a free day or 2 to spend with us and enjoy snorkeling, but want to learn what it takes to be able to discover more of the underwater world of this planet without having to carry around lots of equipment, then come and try out freediving! Freediving gives you the advantage of being a silent observer beneath the waves and opens you up to a next level of intimate interactions with marine life. 

What will you learn?

Basic Freediving is ideal for those looking to start their true freediving journey. Through the 1 day course you will have academic sessions to gain an introductory but more advanced knowledge of breath hold diving physiology, special breathing techniques and in-water safety. You will also receive in-water training in both confined water and open water to learn how to freedive with a certified buddy down to a depth of 5 meters.

What gear will you use?

While not as much as scuba diving, freediving still involves the use of some gear. You will use and be provided with a freediving mask, snorkel and fins, as well as a weather appropriate freediving wetsuit. You will also use and learn about a freediving safety buoy and lines. 

Our instructors would also be delighted to advise you on any personal equipment you are looking to get, and our in-house shop also carries a variety of freediving gear to purchase. 

What learning materials will you need?

When you sign up to the course you gain access to SSI Basic Freediving online learning materials which are a quick introductory read. This can be accessed through SSI Website/App and be downloaded for offline use. You will also receive an in-person academic learning session prior to the in-water activities.
