freediving courses for everyone
Meet yourself where you are.
Freediving is a beautiful activity open to almost anyone. It is a livelihood, a competitive sport, an art and even a moving meditation. We believe in adapting our freediving courses to the interests and abilities of each student.
The resulting improvement in Freedive training techniques means that even people with limited aquatic experience will be amazed what they can learn in just a couple of days.
Level 1 - Basics
Molchanovs L1 Freediving Course: $3.9IDR
The Apneista level 1/ Basic Freediving course is the most comprehensive 2 day Freediving course in Bali.
From people with a lot of experience in the water to those with almost none, this course is an important introduction to the silent world of Freediving in the tropical waters around Amed, Bali.
Level 2 - Advanced
Molchanovs L2 Freediving Course: $5.8 IDR
The Apneista advanced/ level 2 Freediving course is a profound exploration of the Mammalian Dive Reflex and the considerations of deeper dives.

Level 3 - Deep

At Apneista, we see Freediving training more as a beautiful practice than an extreme sport. Our interest in Freediving is non-competitive, though to maximise our aquatic potential we do use the latest advances in competitive Freediving Training Techniques.
We also use the disciplines of competition apnea to structure our training and observe competitive safety standards. In no way does this affect our friendly and non-competitive freediving training atmosphere.
At Apneista our educational vision values the journey as much as the destination and the process as much as the final goal.
We adapt training to suit the requirements of each individual which is why the the student-instructor ratio is always small. We have trained hundreds of individuals over the years and seen how different goals and approaches work for different people.
We have developed our own educational curriculum to reflect this vision. For International certification we use the Molchanov’s Freediving system as globally the most recognized in recent years.
