PADI DISCOVER FREEDIVING
Curious about freediving but not sure where to start? Our PADI Discover Freediving experience is the perfect way to dip into the sport—with no prior experience needed. Guided by certified professionals, you'll learn the fundamentals of breath-hold diving in a safe, controlled, and inspiring environment.
We go beyond the standard:Alongside the core PADI program requirements, we include a dry static apnea session to help you build confidence and extend your breath-hold in a comfortable setting. You'll also get hands-on practice with Free Immersion (FIM), where you'll learn to pull yourself down the line using only your arms—perfect for honing technique and body awareness before moving to deeper dives.
Whether you're training for a new hobby, exploring your limits, or preparing for deeper goals, this one-day session will leave you feeling empowered, energized, and ready to take the plunge.
