Freediver Course

Freediver Course

Price: 7,000 Baht

The Freediver Course is designed for those with little or no experience in the ocean or who have no formal freediving education.

This course will enable you to feel safe and comfortable when freediving to depths up to 20 meters. Although this might sound difficult to achieve in just a couple of days, you will be surprised what our experienced team of freediving instructors can do for you! Our unique breathing techniques taught in the classroom coupled with practical application in the water create a fun and successful freediving experience.

The Freediver Course is run over a 2 day period and is divided into a classroom and water session each day.
In the morning classroom session, instructors use an interactive learning environment which helps to improve confidence and prepares you for the afternoon water session. In the water sessions, we have an absolute maximum of 3 students per instructor, allowing for great personalized attention. Our Instructors are with the you at all times while underwater regardless of the depth, thus increasing your confidence and safety.

The only requirement for certification as a Freediver is to perform a simple rescue exercise from a depth of 6 meters during the second day.

Upon completion of the course, you will receive a certification as well as private online access to the course materials so you can maintain your freediving knowledge.

If you fall in love with freediving and can spend three more days on the island,  you can continue with the Advanced Course straight away!
