Info Sheet
Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.
To enrol in a PADI Freediver course you must be at least 15 years old. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkelling, skin diving or freediving is required.

The PADI Freediver course consists of three main phases:
Knowledge development
about freediving principles through independent study with PADI Freediver eLearning.
Confined water session
to learn breathhold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea. Goal – static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres
Open water sessions
to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – constant weight freedive of 10 metres
In the PADI 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 snorkelling equipment you already own.
What you will need
• Silicone mask (preferably low volume)
• Snorkel
• Fins (long bladed fins will give you a significant advantage but snorkelling fins may suffice for this level)
• Wetsuit (recommended thickness 3mm)
• Weightbelt with quick release buckle
