You don’t need to bring any special equipment. Our diving vacations are designed to cater to you, even if you still struggle to stay underwater for more than a few seconds.
But, if you do have more experience, you’ll find new experience from our higher courses…
You will learn relaxation, breathing, finning and safety techniques in our pool. Then, you will apply those skills in the sea and combine them with the basic skills of open water freediving, such as equalizing, duck diving, vertical swimming, body positioning, turns and use of buoyancy.
