If you’d like to see Florida’s incredible marine life up close, you can book a private charter, and we’ll customize the experience for you. Explore vibrant reefs, fascinating wrecks, and the world’s third-largest barrier reef — home to sharks, turtles, rays, and countless tropical fish. It’s the perfect way to combine training with exploration and adventure.

Our open water training sessions typically take place about three miles offshore, in the Gulf Stream, where the water is at its bluest and calmest — ideal for freediving practice. Out there, we train in deep blue water without the ocean floor in sight, away from boat traffic and crowds. Most days, it’s just us and the open sea — but every now and then, we’re joined by curious sharks, baby turtles, schools of fish, or even a passing sailfish!

Here’s the options:

1. Those who’ve taken a course through Live Free Diving in the past year simply just need to pay boat fee of $150
2. Those not trained through LFD (referrals) require an extra certification fee and time expense to obtain the referral paperwork and process the certification which are incurred by LFD. The total cost for a referral make up session is $300 (includes boat fee, instruction, certification fee).
