This is the first half of your PADI Level 1 Freediving adventure — the perfect intro to holding your breath like a pro. We pack the theory and pool session into a single Saturday, so you can spend Sunday bragging about your new skills (or napping, we don’t judge).
Complete this course and you’ll earn your PADI Basic Freediver certification, having mastered:
-
a 25m dynamic swim
-
a 1.5-minute breath hold
Want to go all-in and get your full Level 1 certification? You can book onto one of our boat dives and finish the adventure.
The pool session is at Pines Forest Aquatic Centre in Frankston.
