Overview:
Description
The PADI Basic Freediver course is a subset of the PADI Freediver course. It’s a great first step for developing solid freediving skills. You learn basic freediving principles and focus on practicing breathhold techniques in a pool or confined water site.
Prerequisite
To enroll in a PADI Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills
and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.
Younger than 12? 8 year olds and older can enroll in the PADI Skin Diver course.
Academic
The PADI Basic Freediver course consists of two main phases:
- Knowledge development through independent study with the PADI Freediver Touch™ (or your instructor may conduct class sessions if not available in a language you understand).
- Confined water session to learn breathhold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres/80 feet.
Equipment
In the PADI Basic Freediver course, you learn to use a mask, snorkel and fins, and may also use a wetsuit and weight
belt. Using gear designed specifically for freediving is best, however, in this course, you may be able to use snorkeling
equipment you already own.
Check with us about the gear you’ll use during this course and get advice about everything
you need from your PADI Freediver Instructor.
