As part of your open water diving exploration, you will surely want to do freediving with basic equipment. AQUASUB has the ideal program for freediver courses.

​

Freediving is about inner power, discipline and control. If you have always wanted to enter the underwater world peacefully, on your own terms, staying as long as your breathing allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step to discover why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.

​

To enroll in a PADI Freediver course you must be at least 15 years old. You need proper swimming techniques and be in good physical health. No previous experience in freediving or snorkeling is required.

​
