PADI Freediver Course Level 1

Service Description

Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you've always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. You must be at least 15 years old. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required. Younger than 15? 12 year olds and older can enroll in the PADI Basic Freediver course and eight year olds and older can enroll in the PADI Skin Diver course. The PADI Freediver course consists of three main phases: 1. Knowledge development about freediving principles through independent study with PADI Freediver eLearning. 2. Two confined water sessions to learn breath-hold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea. Goal - static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres/80 feet. 3. Open water sessions to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal - constant weight freedive of 10 metres/30 feet. You must be able to either answer NO to all questions on the standard Medical History Form or secure a physician’s approval prior to the start of class.
