Basic Freediver

Basic Freediver


This course is a requirment if you wish to join our Freediving club
​
The Basic Freediver course is a subset of the Freediver course. It’s a great first step for developing solid freediving skills. You learn basic freediving principles and focus on practicing breathhold techniques in a pool or confined water site.​

​To enroll in a Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

Cost from £130

Picture
Younger than 12? 8 year olds and older can enroll in the Skin Diver course.

​The Basic Freediver course consists of two main phases:
  • Knowledge development through independent study with the Freediver online study tools.
  • Confined water session to learn breathhold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres/80 feet.

​In the Basic Freediver course, you learn to use a mask, snorkel and fins, and may also use a wetsuit and weight belt. Using gear designed specifically for freediving is best, however, in this course, you may be able to use snorkeling equipment you already own.
