BASIC FREEDIVER COURSE OUTLINE BELOW

PADI BASIC FREEDIVER COURSE, PADI ADVANCED FREEDIVER AND PADI MASTER FREEDIVER
eLearning theory on line with one certification included  (covers all 3 levels) £69 direct from idiveteam


​Who should take this course?
The PADI Basic Freediver course is a subset of the PADI Freediver course. It’s a great first step for developing solid freediving skills.

You learn basic freediving principles and focus on practicing breathhold techniques in a pool or confined water site.
To enroll in a PADI Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

What will you learn?
The PADI Basic Freediver course consists of two main phases:
  • Knowledge development through independent study with the PADI Freediver Touch™ (or your instructor may conduct class sessions).
  • Confined water session to learn breathhold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres/80 feet.
How can you start learning now?
Contact us and get the PADI Freediver Touch tablet app. The Touch is an interactive study tool that gives you the background information you need to freedive safely and allows you to study at your own pace.
Good news – the PADI Freediver Touch also includes all study materials for the PADI Freediver, Advanced Freediver and Master Freediver courses.
​
What freediving gear will you use?
In the PADI Basic Freediver course, you learn to use a mask, snorkel and fins, and may also use a wetsuit and weight belt. Using gear designed specifically for freediving is best, however, in this course, you may be able to use snorkeling equipment you already own.
Check with us about the gear you’ll use during this course and get advice about everything you need.

​If you love the ocean then you are going to love this. Whether you are a scuba diver already or not, it doesn’t matter! Free diving or breath-hold diving is the practice of making dives in the ocean on one breath. You might think that’s crazy and you won’t get long enough but the course will teach you to extend your breath holding capabilities. You will surprise yourself. The peace, calm and quiet underwater without bulky and noisy equipment, is freedom itself and you won’t scare the wildlife either. This is nothing short of awesome!
You will learn and practice;
  • Static Apnea
  • Dynamic (horizontal swimming)
  • Duck dive
  • Constant Weight (diver uses fins to propel themselves – weight remains constant)
  • Emergency procedures


Our team work hard to provide a safe, fun, efficient and well organized dive centre. We work hard to make sure your dive experience is a positive one.
