FREEDIVING
Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on the diver’s ability to hold their breath, rather than using a breathing apparatus such as scuba gear. Freedivers may use fins and other diving equipment to help them swim deeper and faster, but they do not carry air tanks or use regulators to breathe while underwater.
PADI FREEDIVER
R 3500
Jump in Head First!!
The PADI Freediver is one step above the PADI Basic Freediver, and includes all the skills of the Basic Freediver, but also an open water deep dive session. This is the first large stepping stone in your freediving career, and will allow you to see some of our incredible marine life.
Learn proper new skills:
The course starts with e-learning, which can be done at home, at your own leisure. Once this is completed, the classroom becomes a swimming pool where we learn the basic skills of breathold, fin stroke, rescue diving, safety and proper buddy diving. The pool becomes bigger as you step into the ocean, and immerse yourself completely into your new reality of freediving. In the ocean we will learn about the ocean life, proper open water techniques, diving to depths, safety, rescue and buddy diving in open water as a team.
