Highlights

The PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves. The Freediver course is a TWO DAYS training and consists of three phases: - Knowledge development through independent study with the PADI Freediver eLearning. - Confined water session to learn breathhold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 meters/80 feet. - Open water sessions to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – constant weight freedive of 10 meters/30 feet. The beautiful scenery of the Cenotes surround the training. Very well represented in Yucatan Peninsula, the Cenotes are natural sinkhole, resulting from the collapse of limestone bedrock that exposes groundwater underneath; are surface connections to subterranean water bodies. The clear water and the light provide incredible landscapes that will make your training a unique and unforgettable experience.
