WHY ARE OUR COURSES DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS?
You may have noticed we offer more pool sessions than others. And yes! It's good. We believe practice and training is an essential part of becoming a confident and competent freediver. Relaxation, breathing, finning and safety technique are among the many skills one need to master before their trip to the island. Sufficient amount of pool training ensures strong foundation for a freediver to be able to excel fully in the sports in long run. We want our students to be able to enjoy the sports even after they have completed their courses. You will find our extensive course fun and challenging at the same time which makes freediving with us highly addictive and gives you a real sense of achievement at the end of the day.

-
Can I join if I can’t swim?Freediving, unlike scuba diving, is a relatively demanding sport and adequate swimming skill is needed. The course requires one to be able to swim 200 metres unassisted, non-stop in a pool setting. If you are unsure, we suggest that you join our DISCOVER FREEDIVING for RM90 (a 1.5-hr-session) to try out the sports before committing to a certification course.
