FAQ
How do I get started with Freediving?
To become a freediver, you must invest in a quality freediving training course. This includes the following three main phase:
-
Knowledge development – This phase is centered on learning about the principles of freediving. You will also learn your body’s reaction to breath-holding and the effects of water pressure on your lungs as you dive.
-
Confined-water session or pool training – In this phase, you will learn breath-holding techniques in the confines and safety of a pool. You will be tested in two apnea disciplines including static and dynamic apnea.
-
Open water training – In this final phase, you will test your knowledge in open water by practicing pulling yourself down along a line (free immersion) and constant weight where you dive headfirst while following a line. You will also learn proper buddy procedures and basic rescue techniques.
