Once the basics start to feel natural, freediving really opens up. This is the natural continuation of your basic course — building on what you already know to take you a little deeper, stay a little longer, and have it all feel easy.
Who Is It For?
Divers who have the fundamentals and want more. If you can already comfortably reach around 12–20 m, you'll feel right at home. You don't need to be an athlete — just curious and comfortable in the water.
What You'll Explore
Understanding your body
We go deeper into how you adapt as you descend, and how relaxation, pressure, and breathing all work together. You'll learn advanced Frenzel equalization and get an introduction to reverse packing, discover how freefall works, and learn to plan a dive so safety becomes second nature.
In the water
In the pool you'll get more comfortable holding your breath at the surface (static) and moving underwater — both with bi-fins (dynamic bi-fins, DYNB) and without them (dynamic no fins, DNF) — longer and calmer each time. It's less about hitting a target and more about finding ease.
At depth it all comes together. You'll equalize smoothly as you descend and relax into freefall — that quiet moment when you stop swimming and simply sink. You'll dive with bi-fins (constant weight, CWTB), pull yourself along the line by hand (free immersion, FIM) toward around 30 meters, and meet a new discipline — constant weight no fins (CNF). You'll also get comfortable on a lanyard, look after your buddy, and practice rescues from 10–15 meters, so safety becomes second nature.
A Typical Week
A typical week looks like this:
- Day 1 (09:00–16:00): Theory + static apnea session + open water session
- Day 2 (10:00–16:00): Theory + dynamic apnea session in the pool
- Day 3 (10:00–14:00): Depth session in open water
- Day 4: Day off
- Day 5 (10:00–14:00): Depth session in open water
- Day 6 (10:00–14:00): Final depth session. Optionally, this day can be organised as a trip to the Blue Hole
Between water sessions there's dry training for breathing and equalization, video analysis to see your dives from the outside, and time to let it all sink in. We move at a pace that suits you — depth comes from relaxation and good technique, never from forcing it.
What You'll Take Away
You'll come away diving deeper and far more relaxed, with skills that make every dive safer and more enjoyable — including looking after the gear yourself, from preparing the buoy to setting and collecting the line. There's an internationally recognized advanced freediver certification at the end of it too: with it you can train at almost any dive center in the world without an instructor — an independent freediver who just needs to find a buddy.
How to Prepare
No special prep — just arrive rested and relaxed. A few things help: keep a gentle breath-hold and stretching habit, sleep well and stay hydrated, skip heavy meals and coffee a few hours before water sessions, and make sure both nostrils are clear before each session (a saline spray helps). All equipment is provided, but if you have a mask, fins, or wetsuit you love, bring them along.
