Freediving Level 1 course is an important, smooth, and measured introduction to the soundless world of freediving. Everyone is welcome to take this course even if this would be their first experience with water activities. It is a perfect opportunity for you to build a connection with water and start to enjoy being in it.
We will be happy to be your coaches and guides in this amazing journey!
Freedive Nusa offers a long and the most comprehensive freediving training course for beginners!
The basic course lasts 3 intense days.
The first 2 days are from 8:30 to 16:30 with a break for lunch. The last day is till 1 pm.
The course includes 2 pool sessions (static apnea and dynamic apnea) and 3 open water sessions as well as theoretical and practical lessons in the classroom.
After booking the course, we will grant you access to the digital learning materials. You will watch and read the course materials in advance. It will help you to be more effective during the course and to be more focused on diving and practicing new skills instead of learning the theory in the classroom.
Sample schedule of the course
The schedule may be adjusted depending on weather conditions or the needs of participants.
Your course will start in the classroom where you will learn crucial information about human physiology, the proper breathing process, and the mammalian diving reflex. You will learn relaxation techniques and proper breathing before and after the dive. After the class, you will be able to do your deepest breath ever and clearly understand how to prepare your body and mind for a smooth, relaxed, and safe breath-hold dive.
Before entering the sea you will practice breath-holding in the pool in a safe and controlled environment. Most of the participants can hold their breath for 2-3 minutes during the first session.
On the second day, you will be practicing in the pool as well to work on your finning technique. Pool training is an essential part of every freediving course. Most of the skills needed in open water can be trained first during free diving lessons in the pool. It helps to practice new motor skills and to develop more control and confidence.
You will learn how underwater pressure affects our body and gain essential skills for every freediver — Frenzel Equalization.
You will go through special stretching for freedivers, relaxation, and visualization techniques — all will improve your body preparations for the dive.
You will have 3 open water sessions – the main and most important part of the course. This is minimal duration, from our experience, which needed to practice all basic skills and gain enough experience.
During this course, we do not aim for the deepest depth. Our main focuses are on technique and comfort. We use an individual approach only! Our training is always adjusted to the needs, interests, and abilities of each particular student.
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 most safely and comfortably.
Special attention will be paid to safety! You will learn how to freedive safely and will practice basic rescue techniques both in the pool and in the open water.
Every open water session will be finished with freediving on the coral reef with rich underwater life.
All the skills and knowledge you will get during this course will give you a new way to interact with the ocean. You will definitely enjoy it and be able to explore the underwater world with friends!
After this course, you can continue your study by taking coaching and training sessions or advanced freedive courses such as Level 2.
Also after the course, we invite you to join our Manta Trips and experience freediving with awesome Manta Rays.

It was an unbelievable experience I think about everyday. Kirill was an inspiring teacher, his teaching methods, calm, safe and poised personality and the fact that he really loves freediving made learning freediving easy and so fun.
My experience at Freedive Nusa has opened a door to a deeper love and appreciation of the ocean and our connection to it. Extending beyond freediving to pranayama, more confidence in my surfing, yoga and power of the mind. This course is for anyone who wants to learn more about themselves and the human body. Highly Recommend doing it!read less

Course is very comprehensive (good mix of theory with lots of practice), instructors (Kirill & Tim) very professional & knowledgeable and always happy to give feedback & tips.
Manta trip brought us to very different spots, all great, with mantas & healthy reefs (Nusa Penida reefs were better than expected, compared to other spots around Bali & Lombok).
Overall everything was well organised, easy going & super enjoyable!read less

They really know how to make the experience unique, whether you are snorkeling or freediving.
The most important thing: Safety is their top concern at all times, and the organization from Freediving Nusa allows you to just relax and enjoy the ride.
You'll be given all the information you need to know what to do and when, and how to make the most out of the experience.
The facilities in the school are designed to provide the best service. Gear, showers, places to rinse gear and cameras, towels, sea sickness tablets, sunscreen, water, they really thought about everything needed to enjoy the during AND after a water adventure.
Kirill leads this school and he makes an immense difference, as a Molchanovs Instructor Developer, he ensures the highest quality standards not just for the school, but also for the adventure trips.
His crew follows his lead and example. They are absolutely amazing, very passionate for the ocean and its conservation, and highly trained water people.
Having been in Nusa Penida for over a decade now, they really know the good places and the right times, making the experience unique. No other tour can provide what they do.
I'll visit them every time I'm in Nusa Penida. Leaving some pictures of the Amazing places we visited, some of the things we saw, and of how safe one feels when diving with them!!!read less

It is like going home that is so familiar. For many years it was my dream to learn how to freedive. Yeah, I knew how to go underwater, but I didn't know how to do this right actually. So the 2 hour lesson at Nusa Dua Freedive School that I had with Heiko was really useful for me. It gave me introduction into the world of freedivers. During the whole lesson it was easy and very interesting to obtain information. Illustrative examples of my teacher made it easier to learn and to understand what to do in this or that cases.
I want to express my gratitude to my instructor Heiko Franken. Thanks to you now I know what I have to do to dive very deep. How to inhale and exhale. And what I don't have to do. Thank you for your support. And thank you for letting me dive for 14 meters. It was very pleasant and important for me to hear that I'm so natural in water. Thank you for making me feel like a mermaid.read less

я летала с мантами, видела дюгонь, акул, черепах, множества чудесных ,любопытных рыб, рифы, затем "драконов", оленей... а ночью на подводной нырялке я была феей Динь-динь со светящимся планктоном... у меня всё)))
Это мечта и она реальна, все реально!
Закаты и рассветы, йога, пляжи с песком от черного до розового, чудесный профессиональный фотограф, самое вкусное питание, что я ела в Индонезии))), восходящие потоки, ночной переход и блок-флейта Яна, снеки с Нутелой от Феликса и Артема, чайные церемонии Кирилла и Николая, "я люблю тебя" от Ню Ню, бирюзово- бездонные глаза ее Алекса, потрясные подводные фото Хайко, лёгкость и погружения в миры девчонок Зои и Вероники. Это все останется со мной навсегда ведь счастье в состоянии БЫТЬ, а не иметь!
Кирилл, тот человек, чья уверенность в любом действии вселяет спокойствие, это то что необходимо.
Техничность, порядок, схема мне инженеру очень помогла в погружении.
Благодарю!
P.s. два слова о спутниках. Случайных людей в таких путешествиях не бывает, все из "твоей стаи" и это ощущение великолепно.

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!
