Free Diving Course
$450
The Free Diving Level 1 Course consists of 3 parts:
- ACADEMICS
The Training Materials and Online Training program are designed so that you can learn the academics at your own pace when it is convenient for you, with direct contact with your instructor from the moment you start. We will monitor your progress and assist when needed. - CONFINED WATER / POOL TRAINING
Your Instructor will work with you so you will become comfortable and confident with your abilities before you go diving in open water. - OPEN WATER TRAINING
You will complete your open water dives and have the chance to demonstrate your abilities to your Instructor. After successful completion of your open water training dives you will become a Certified Freediver.
Prerequisites: Minimum 12 years of age.
Freediving opens up a whole new underwater world. The Level 1 Freediver Course takes 2 days to complete, the first day starts in the class reviewing the theory completed online and then we head to the pool for the confined water session. The 2nd day is out on our boat Sentinel in Deep Water Cove putting to practice the skills learned in the pool and depth training.
