Padi Basic Freediver

Description

This is the first half of the Padi Level 1 Freediving certification. It consists of a theory session on the Friday night and a pool session on the Saturday morning. You will be certified as a Padi Basic Freediver once you have completed the course and successfully meet the requirements of a 25m dynamic swim and 1.5 min breath hold. Once you’ve completed this course, and would like to finish your full Level 1 certification, you can hop on one of our boat dives. We run our boat dive straight after the pool session on the Saturday.
