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.

I did Level 1 and I had so much fun. Was my first time ever doing freedive. I was super nervous because i have no idea about freedive. But the teaching by Kirill, the owner and instructor, was informative, engaging and fun. I think the most important thing is that all of the sessions with him in the water was super safe and professional. I feel ready and safe 100% all the time when we practice together in the deep ocean (even with Nusa Penida infamous strong current) since day 1. Absolutely no pressure to go deep or make me do anything i'm not ready for. At the same time, my abilities were gently extended and I definitely grew more confidence in the water than before. So go to Nusa Penida and do the freedive course with them! Easy access from Bali island, it is your best option other than taking any freedive course in Gili nor Amed. The island itself is simply chillax, not super touristy like other destinations. Highly recommended! Find out what freediving is all about with Kirill - Freedive Nusa. You won't regret it.
Ps: i booked it via their Instagram @freedivenusa, quick response and super easy to book.
Cheers,

We did a bit of dry practicing and then open-water dive after which I got my answers. I was guided by Kirill who is knowledgeable and quickly understands the reasons of the issue. On returning back we did some analysis and I got recommendations and exercises. That was a really professional approach so I recommend anybody to do training with these guys. A BIG THANKS and wish Freedivenusa maintaining highest levels!read less

They are incredible at every single step of organising beautiful experiences during each day of our trip. The itinerary was planned very well, we saw the best places (even those that other tours don’t take you) and had time to rest in between. The food was fantastic on the boat.
I didn’t train after Wave 1 course, but it was very easy for me to complete Wave 2 course due to the team providing me support on each step, setting me up for success with clear guidance and constantly providing feedback how to improve my performance.
If I continue my free diving training, I will definitely be back to this school as they are truly unique and care for all their students. There are no better place in Indonesia to learn free diving or enhance your shills.read less

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!
