A beginners course if you are already confident in the water. You will learn the different disciplines of freediving: static apnea, dynamic apnea, free immersion and constant weight diving. The Beginner Freediving Course introduces you to the secrets of the underwater world in a fun and relaxed way, with a strong emphasis on preparing you for safe diving. Feel free to apply if you meet the requirements listed in the application criteria.

In the course you will learn the basics of freediving, how to practice single-breath dives safely, and what happens to your body when you hold your breath. By the end of the training, you will be able to reach depths between 12 and 20 meters safely and comfortably. During the course, we offer theoretical, pool and open water group sessions. All the necessary course materials (presentation, textbook) will be available for you. In the practical training, we will record your dives and evaluate them together. Upon successful completion of the exam, you will be issued an internationally recognised freediving card.
