The PADI Basic Freediver course is a great first step for developing solid freediving skills. You learn basic freediving principles and focus on practising breathhold techniques in a pool.

The PADI Basic Freediver course consists of two main phases:

 

1. Knowledge development through a online session where you learn theory and breathhold techniques.

2. Pool session to learn further breathhold and freediving techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea, plus proper buddy procedures. 

You learn to use a freediving mask, snorkel and fins. To signup in a PADI Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. No prior experience with snorkelling, skin diving or freediving is required. Includes certification.
