Master Freediver Course

Find Your Flow. Let The Depth Come Naturally.

Ready to take your freediving further?

The PADI Master Freediver Course (Level 3) is designed for experienced freedivers who want to refine their technique, deepen their understanding of training, and dive with greater ease, confidence, and control.

Over 4 days, you’ll receive personalized coaching focused on breathwork, relaxation, equalization, technique, and efficiency. With small groups and detailed video feedback, you’ll have the time and attention to understand your diving and make meaningful progress.

Many students take Master Freediver as their final step before pursuing instructor-level training. Others take it simply because they love freediving and want to become better, more confident divers.

These are certification requirements, not personal depth goals. Our focus is on helping you develop the technique, relaxation, and confidence to meet the standards safely.

Before you book

• Minimum age 18
• PADI Advanced Freediver certification, or equivalent from another agency
• CPR/First Aid training completed within the last 24 months. (Need it? Add our CPR/First Aid class for $250)
• Completed medical form, with physician approval if needed
• Your own freediving gear: mask, snorkel, long fins, wetsuit, weights and freediving computer (Rental gear is available)
• Arrive comfortable with your Level 2 depths and ready to train consistently throughout the course

We recommend giving yourself time between certification levels to train, dive with experienced buddies, and build real-world experience before moving on to Master Freediver.
