SSI FREEDIVER
FREEDIVER COURSE
- 3 Days
- 10-20 Meters
- Min. 12 years
- 1-4 Students
SSI Freediver course provides students with the necessary skills and knowledge to safely participate in the recreational freediving activities autonomously with a buddy.
It consists of three main phases:
- Knowledge development about fundamental freediving principles.
- Confined water sessions to learn breath hold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea.
- Open water sessions to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, as well as proper buddy procedures and rescue techniques.
Goal of the course is to try static apnea, achieve dynamic apnea of 30 meters and constant weight freedive to 10-20 meters.
