What can I expect if I book an Introductory Freediving Course?
The experienced instructors at Freediving Seychelles start the day with a Theory Session, where you will learn the basics of freediving, including freediving equipment and safety. You will then be introduced to breathing and equalisation techniques.
Following this, you move on to a Breathing and Relaxation session. You will discover that breathing can help you relax and be introduced to the breathing techniques used in freediving.
Next is a Pool Session where you can comfortably practice some of the basic breath-hold skills under the guidance of a professional freediving instructor.
You will then be ready for your Open Water session. Having been shown the correct techniques, you’ll be guided to swim to depth (max. 10m). You’ll be amazed how with each dive you’ll get to match or even surpass your limits.
