Freediving Level 1 course is an important, smooth and measured introduction to the soundless world of freediving. Everyone is welcomed to take this course even if this would be their first experience of water activities. It is a perfect opportunity for you to build a connection with water and start to enjoy being in it.

You are going to have 3 days of study starting at 8 am till 5 pm (including a break for lunch). The course includes the theoretical and practical ways on the land, 2 confined water, and 3 open water sessions.

Before entering the sea you will get a lot of interesting and useful information, that is needed to understand what happens to your body while doing the breath-holding dive (apnea).
You will learn how underwater pressure affects our body and gain proper skills of pressure alignment — equalization.

You will learn proper techniques of breathing before and after dive and hopefully, you will be able to do your deepest breath ever. With fully understanding the physiology and the psychology of the processes, students will realize, how to prepare their body and mind for a smooth and safe dive.
We are going to learn about human physiology when they stay in the water, as well as a mammalian diving reflex.
You will go through special stretching and yoga for freedivers, relaxations, and visualization techniques — all would improve your body preparations for the dive.

Special attention will be paid to safety. You will learn how to save yourself and some other basic rescue techniques.

During this course, we do not aim for the deepest depth. Our main focuses are on technique and comfort. Our training is always adjusted to the needs, interests, and abilities of each particular student.

We are going to dive with constant weight using fins and dip following the line to the maximum depth of 20 meters. The majority of the students can go as deep as 15-20m just after the first course. The skills you will get during this course will help you to reach this depth in the safest and most comfortable way.

All skills and knowledge that you will get during this course will give you a new way to interact with the ocean, and you will be able to dive safely and explore the underwater world with friends!

What things do I need to bring to start freediving?

You don’t necessarily need to bring anything to your course. We have all the gear you might need but if you have your own gear like fins, mask, wetsuit, be sure to bring it with you.

Freediving with your own gear is always more convenient.

How can I freedive if I can not hold my breath for too long?

This is one of the popular doubts for beginners but it appears only due unknowing.

During your basic freediving course you will learn proper breathing and relaxation techniques.

Almost all the students reach breath-hold times of well over 2 minutes without any problems during the first lesson!
