About this tour

A three-day freediving course that takes you from beginner to certified Level 1 freediver. You'll learn breath-hold diving technique and safety protocols, with most participants reaching depths of 15–20 metres by day three. The course covers both classroom theory and in-water training, equipping you to explore the ocean independently with proper skills and confidence.

Highlights

  • Reach 15–20 metres depth within three days of training
  • Freediving Level 1 certification upon completion
  • All equipment provided; no gear hire fees
  • Digital learning materials included in course
  • Small-group instruction in Bali's warm waters
  • Safety-focused technique work on breath control and relaxation
  • Dive independently with friends after certification

What to expect

The course opens with classroom sessions covering freediving theory, safety protocols, and physiological responses to breath-hold diving. You'll learn relaxation and breathing techniques before progressing to confined-water drills where you practise skills in shallow, controlled conditions. From day two onwards, you'll move to open-water dives, gradually working toward deeper depths as your comfort and technique improve.

Instructor-led sessions keep you moving through progressive exercises—equalisation, streamlined body position, and mental focus all get hands-on attention. By the final day, you'll put it together in deeper water dives. The course wraps with your Level 1 certification, valid for independent diving with a buddy.

Good to know

This suits anyone curious about breath-hold diving who has at least moderate fitness and good cardiovascular health. It's not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns—discuss any health conditions with the operator beforehand. The course is physically demanding; you'll need to be comfortable in water and able to manage equalisation. Lunch is not included, so budget for meals separately. Group size is not specified, but expect small instructor-to-student ratios for safety. The course runs over three consecutive days, so plan accordingly; peak times in Bali may affect scheduling.
