PADI FREEDIVER Level 1
(2 day course)
Minimum Age: 15
Maximum Class Size: 4 students per instructor
Course Description:
Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying longer than you EVER imagined you could, then this freediving course is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course with Blue Water Freedivers is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular and fun way to comfortably explore the aquatic wonders that exist beneath the surface and the waves.
THE PADI FREEDIVER COURSE CONSISTS OF THREE MAIN PHASES:
Knowledge development about freediving principles through independent study with PADI Freediver eLearning supplemented with classroom learning sessions.
