Have you ever dreamed of exploring the deep blue free of constraints, of swimming alongside and interacting with marine life like one of their own? With free diving, you can do just that! The purest form of diving, free divers do not use any equipment. Unlike scuba diving, you swim in graceful silence without the sound of your breathing or bubbles to distract you or the fish. You are able to move through the water with total freedom and enjoy the beauty and serenity of life underwater up close and as never before!
This full-day free diving experience is for the absolute beginner. We will take you and your friend out to open waters to learn how to free dive with a certified AIDA/SSI/PADI free diving instructor. You will spend the morning on fundamental free diving techniques, shallow water skills and safety procedures. This theory session will teach you proper breathing, breath-holding and relaxation techniques, so you will be able to take deeper, more effective breaths and hold them for longer stretches of time.
After lunch, get into the water for your first free dive! You will practice making 1 to 2 minute diveseach time and learn basic finning skills that will help you reach greater depths. While each dive is brief, free diving allows you to immerse yourself fully into the underwater world for a rich, intimate experience. On one breath alone, the ocean is yours to explore!
