Free Diving Course

The SSI Level 1 Freediving course is an introductory course with no previous experience required!  This program provides you with the training and knowledge required to safely free dive with a buddy in open water environments to depths of 20 metres.  You will earn the SSI Level 1 Freediving certification after completing this program.

The course includes theory sessions about freediving breathing techniques for before and after diving, a dry breath hold, relaxation, physiology, and safety procedures.  A pool session will include dynamic apnea (horizontal UW swimming) and depth where you will progressively learn about technique including adequate finning, body positioning and being more streamlined.  The following day you go out into open water, up into the tablelands to Lake Eacham.  You will practice pull down and duck dive descents, equalising techniques and see how far you can go before being issued your freediving certification.

Freediver Level 1 Course is designed to introduce anybody to gain comfort underwater. Extending one’s breath hold, dive time, dive efficiency (to depths of 12-20m), safety and rescues, the physics and theory of freediving, are just a few of the things that are covered. No matter what level of an underwater enthusiast you are, this course will improve your one breath underwater life.

Prerequisites:
- Be over 16 years of age
- Be able to comfortably swim 200m

Advanced Freediver Level 2 Course is designed to advance you along your freediving journey. Techniques used for deeper diving, including correct equalisation and essential relaxation, are introduced. Further extending your breath hold, learning how to perform a neutral buoyancy check, diving efficiently down to depths of up to 30m, and performing rescues in deeper water, are just a few of the things that are covered. This course is for freedivers who have already done a Wave 1 (or equivalent) course, and are looking to further develop their training and knowledge as a freediver.
