Academics
The Freediver course consists of three main phases:
Equipment
In the Freediver course, you learn to use a mask, snorkel and fins, and may also use a wetsuit and weight belt. A well fitted open-cell freediving wetsuit with a hood will be an important tool to completing this course. Using gear designed specifically for freediving is best. However, in this course, you may be able to use snorkeling equipment you already own.
Wetsuit Rentals: If prefer to rent a wetsuit, please review this document for rental terms. Contact for sizing and details.
Skills and Training - Sample Course Schedule
Freediving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.
Avoid disappointment, download, review, and complete the Diver Medical form at least one week prior to your course start date to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a freediving course. Instructors, divemasters and dive shop staff are not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.
The Freediver course consists of three main phases:
- Knowledge development about freediving principles through independent study with Freediver eLearning
