About

The Discover Freediving experience is a program that introduces participants to freediving activities in a confined water setting and under the guidance and supervision of professionals. It is designed as a highly flexible program that offers an informative, enjoyable, controlled experience centered on modern freediving techniques.

Will will start with a certified instructor that will review freediving concepts with ea. person in the group. Next we will learn proper breathing and breathhold techniques as well as introductory free dive disciplines plus proper buddy procedures. Finally, we will learn how to make a proper water entry.

Most students, after completing the Discover Freediving course, have built confidence to take on the added challenge of open water diving. Discover Freediving students can seamlessly upgrade to the PADI Freediver Certification at a later date.
