Advanced Freediver Course – Level 2

Take Your Freediving to the Next Level

The PADI Advanced Freediver Course is designed for certified freedivers who are ready to refine their technique, improve efficiency, and become more comfortable and confident at depth.

Over two days, we’ll combine theory, stretching, pool training, and open-water depth sessions to help you develop greater control and efficiency in your dives.

This course is about quality, not simply chasing a deeper number. We’ll focus on refining your technique, improving relaxation and body position, and developing the skills needed for comfortable, controlled depth diving.

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.

What This Course Is Really About

At Level 2, we’re moving beyond simply completing a dive.

You’ll learn how to make your dives feel easier, calmer, and more efficient as you move into greater depth.

We’ll focus on:

• Technique & Efficiency: Refine body position, streamlining, finning, and overall dive technique.
• Relaxation & Comfort: Develop greater relaxation and control as you descend and experience increasing pressure.
• Equalization: Refine your existing Frenzel equalization technique for depth.
• Depth Diving: Build confidence and consistency while diving in the 20–24m range.
• Dive Analysis: Receive personalized feedback to identify areas for improvement and make your dives more efficient.
• Safety & Rescue: Develop and practice appropriate safety and rescue skills for deeper open-water diving.

The goal isn’t simply to go deeper. It’s to make your dives more efficient, controlled, and comfortable as you progress.

Training Experience

Day 1 — Theory, Stretching & Pool

We’ll begin with theory and technique sessions, followed by guided stretching and pool training to prepare for open-water depth work.

Day 2 — Open-Water Depth Session

Day two takes us offshore aboard our private boat for focused depth training. You’ll apply the skills from Day 1 while working on technique, efficiency, relaxation, and comfort at depth.

Training typically takes place in the 20–24m range, depending on individual readiness and ocean conditions.

Open-water training is dependent on weather and ocean conditions. Training depth and location may be adjusted based on conditions and individual readiness.

Your Training Environment

Private Boat Depth Training

All open-water depth training for Level 2 is conducted from Live Free Diving’s private boat, operated by a U.S. Coast Guard licensed captain.

Open-water training is always dependent on weather, sea conditions, visibility, current, and other environmental factors.

Small Groups. Individualized Coaching.

We intentionally keep our Level 2 courses small, with a maximum of four students.

This allows us to spend meaningful time with each diver, observe your technique, provide individual feedback, and adapt the training to your experience and goals.

Designed to meet you where you are and help you safely expand your limits

Is This Course Right for You?

This course is designed for freedivers who already have a solid foundation and are ready to work specifically on depth technique.

You should:

• Hold a Level 1 Freediver certification or equivalent
• Be comfortable training in open water
• Be able to perform a Frenzel equalization
• Be ready to receive coaching and refine your technique

Frenzel Equalization is Required

You must already be able to Frenzel equalize before attending Level 2 in order to get the most of your course.. If you’re still relying on Valsalva-style equalization, we recommend working on your equalization skills before booking this course.

Where Does Training Take Place?

Courses are offered during the summer months in South Florida, or as part of select Live Free Diving travel experiences and retreats. This allows us to ensure ideal conditions, individualized coaching, and the highest-quality training experience.
