Quick Details
Freedive Training in the Open Waters of Florida!
Want to take your Freediving to the next level? Experience the incredible blue waters off South Florida, where depth is unlimited and visibility is out of this world! Our instructors and captain will provide and set up line diving equipment as well as safety, oversight and coaching. Whether you’re looking to improve technique, depth, film some content or just enjoy the peace and serenity of freediving in the big blue, we’ve got you covered!
Divers must be Level 1 certified to join!
Live Free Diving operates its own licensed and insured freediving boat, ‘FINS UP’, a 26’ Aquasport equipped with a U.S Coast Guard certified captain. This means you’ll be on your own private boat! No sharing with SCUBA divers! The boat is equipped with a cooler and ice with complimentary water and coconut water, but feel free to bring your own food and drinks! Reef safe sunblock and wetsuit lubricant are also offered.
When are the trips offered?
Open water line diving tips are offered 7 days a week during summer months May-September (weather permitting). During “Off-season” (October – April), conditions in South Florida are simply too unpredictable, though we do get good days! Instead of scheduling ahead of time and having a high probability of cancellation, we offer “pop up” sessions. These are usually announced one week ahead of time when we receive a favorable forecast and will be announced via our social media channels and local WhatsApp training groups. For guaranteed good conditions check out some of our dive travel!
Departure Times
Weekdays: 10 AM departure (*subject to change)
Weekends: 9 AM departure, (*subject to change)
The trip duration is typically 3 hours, with 2 hours of water time. So plenty of time to make your dives!
NOTE:
Due to high demand and limited availability, these trips, especially weekends, tend to fill up quickly! If the trip you’re looking to book is full, please use the option to join the Waitlist. If there is enough interest, we can hire additional boats to accommodate more freedivers.
*A minimum of 4 divers is needed to run the trip.
