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.
