Once you have completed the Level 1 course and you would like to progress on your freediving journey ou can come back and complete the Level 2 Openwater course to upgrade your certification to be certified to dive to 20m.

Why should I do a Freediving Course?
Freediving is an amazing skill to have. It’s not just about impressing your friends with how long you can hold your breath! You will be safer in the water, be able to scuba dive more efficiently, snorkel for longer and deeper, manage and recover from surfing wipeouts and, if you are a performance athlete or someone who wants to improve your performance on dry land as well as in the water, freediving skills will help.
Freediving is also an amazing, meditative sport, so is known to help with anxiety, depression and other stress related conditions. Which is why we also offer a variety of online breathing optimisation classes and yoga sessions which run regularly throughout the year.
The question should not be ‘why?’, it should be ‘why not?’
