How safety works
About the course

Begin your freediving journey — the classic first certification, to 16 metres.

The PADI Freediver course is your first full step into the world of breath-hold diving. Over 2–3 days, you'll learn the physiology of the breath through your eLearning, then master breathing and relaxation, static and dynamic apnea in calm, confined water — the foundations every freediver is built on.

Then comes the part you'll never forget: the open-water sessions. Duck dive, equalize and descend the line with free immersion and constant weight — calmly, one relaxed dive at a time, to a maximum of 16 metres. Along the way you'll learn the buddy-system safety procedures and partner rescue techniques that make freediving such a controlled, trusting sport. You'll surface as a certified PADI Freediver — a lifetime card, recognised worldwide, and your ticket to the Advanced course.

From first breath to certified

Get certified in
only two steps.

Your coach teaches you in a relaxed, supportive environment — and in freediving, relaxed is the entire point. Here's exactly how the course unfolds, from your sofa to the 16-metre line.

1Step 01 · Before you arrive

Time 2–3 hrsAny deviceIncluded free
2Step 02 · In the water

Confined water, then the line

Guided breathing and relaxation first, then static and dynamic apnea in calm, confined water until a long breath-hold feels natural. Then out to the blue: duck dive, equalize and descend the line with free immersion and constant weight — building gently toward 16 metres, your coach beside you on every dive.
