Live Free Diving’s Freediver Course – Level 1 is a 2-day course that teaches the safety and science behind freediving, as well as how to increase confidence, train your mind, and boost mindfulness.

The course consists of four phases:

  1. Freediver Touch/E-Learning Modules
  2. Classroom session (knowledge development)
  3. Confined water session
  4. Open water sessions

On Day 1, you will complete the Freediver Touch/E-Learning Modules and participate in a classroom session to learn about the safety, science, physiology, and psychology behind freediving. In the afternoon, you will participate in a confined water session to learn about safety skills, static apnea, dynamic apnea, and how to make a proper water entry.

On Day 2, you will participate in two open water sessions to practice free immersion (pull downs), constant weight, duck dives, proper buddy procedures, and a rescue scenario at depth. Sessions will be held in the blue water of the Gulf Stream off South Florida, or at a spring fed lake near Fort Lauderdale (weather permitting).

The course tuition includes eLearning, pool fees, open water fees, instructor fees, and certification card upon successful completion.
