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.

Where & When

Courses are offered during the summer months in South Florida, and year-round at our international destinations including Barbados, Riviera Maya, and Roatan.

Open-water sessions take place in clear, calm conditions, with inland training options available when needed

Please Note:
Due to the advanced nature and logistical requirements of these programs, our Advanced and Master Freediver Courses are offered privately in South Florida or as part of select Live Free Diving travel experiences (such as our Roatán and Barbados expeditions). This allows us to ensure ideal conditions, individualized coaching, and the highest-quality training experience.
