Day One – Foundations & Pool Training
We start on land with a clear, practical introduction to freediving safety, equalisation, breathing, relaxation, and mindset. From there, we move into the pool to put it all into practice — covering dynamic apnea (underwater swimming), technique, and essential buddy rescue skills in a calm, controlled environment.
Day Two – Open Water Freediving
Day two is where everything comes together. Across two open-water sessions, you’ll work on equalisation, free immersion (pulling down the line), and depth diving (kicking down the line), gradually building confidence and comfort at depth.
Progression is individual — there’s no pressure to perform. We focus on correct technique, relaxation, and enjoyment, not pushing limits.
For many people, this weekend becomes the start of something bigger — regular training, ocean adventures, trips away, and a community that supports safe, enjoyable freediving long after the course ends.
You don’t just leave with a certification.
You leave with skills, confidence, and people to dive with.
