Take Your Freediving to the Next Level

Ready to dive deeper, stay longer, and move with greater efficiency and control? The PADI Advanced Freediver Course is designed for those who have completed Level 1 (or have equivalent certification experience) and are ready to refine their technique, expand breath-hold capacity, and improve depth performance — safely and mindfully.

Led by Kaleigh “Keke” McBride, one of the USA’s top female freediving instructors, this course blends personalized coaching, proven performance methods, and intentional training that helps you unlock your full potential beneath the surface.

At Live Free Diving, we believe in mindful progression — not pressure. Every dive, stretch, and breath is taught with purpose so that you build confidence and control with every session.
