The Basic Freediver course gives a solid understanding of the psychological and physiological processes involved in Freediving.

Using  techniques and insights from Yoga and Meditation we approach Freediving as an exploration of the Mind / Body connection.

Your classroom is 20 metres from the waters edge where you’ll put the theory into practice.

We waste no time with boats and logistics meaning that more time is spent gaining understanding, practicing Freediving and adapting training to individual needs.
