Achieving a new freediving time or reaching a new depth is an incredible feeling. It satisfies that very personal desire to do your best and be proud of what you can accomplish. The PADI Advanced Freediver course is designed to fulfill that personal need to refine and improve your freediving skills, allowing you to progress slowly while learning how your body performs during apnea.
To enroll in a PADI Advanced Freediver course you must be at least 15 years old and have a PADI Freediver certification (or a qualifying certification from another freediver organization). You also need to have Emergency First Response Primary and Secondary Care (CPR and First Aid) training within the past 24 months. You can complete this training during the Rescue Diver course. Your instructor may also offer the PADI Emergency Oxygen Provider Specialty course at the same time.
PADI Advanced Freediver course consists of three main phases:
Theory class - 1 session (4 hrs):
-
Knowledge development about advanced freediving techniques and equipment. You'll study independently using the PADI Freediver eLearning and face to face class .
Pool training - 2 sessions (2 hrs each):
-
To learn stretching and relaxation techniques as well as refine static and dynamic apnea.
*Open water training - 4 sessions (2 hrs each):
-
To practice deeper free immersion and constant weight freedives, along with additional buddy procedures and rescue techniques.
