PADI Free Diver
Full course $320.00
Free diving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then free diving is for you.
The PADI Free Diver course consists of three main phases:
- Knowledge development about freediving principles through independent study with PADI Freediver eLearning (which we can assign to you and usually takes students about 5 to 8 hours to complete).
- Confined water session to learn breath hold techniques as well as static and dynamic apnea. Goal – static apnea of 90 seconds and dynamic apnea of 25 metres/80 feet.
- Open water sessions to practice free immersion and constant weight freedives, plus proper buddy procedures. Goal – constant weight freedive of 10 metres/30 feet.
The practical portion of the course takes 3 days with a schedule from either 8am to 1:30pm or 1pm to 6:30pm.
The price includes a Professional Dive Instructor, PADI eLearning materials, free dive gear, boat transportation to the sites & snacks between sites.
After completing the course you are able to come free diving with us and explore two sites at a student rate of only $20.00 to keep practicing your skills and for more exploration and fun in the water.

Hermit crabs are the ultimate recyclers of the ocean! 🐚 They move from shell to shell as they grow, making old homes their new ones. It's the epitome of sustainable living. Plus, they carry their houses on their backs...talk about mobile homes!
Meet the Feather Duster Worm, an amazing ocean critter! 🌊 With its crown of tentacles, it filters water for food, creating a beautiful display that looks like a colorful underwater feather duster. When threatened, it vanishes into its tube in a flash!
Dive deep and you might just find the Condylactis gigantea, also known as the Giant Anemone. This colossal creature is a true spectacle of the sea, boasting an array of vibrant colors, from bright whites and yellows to stunning pinks and purples. But the Giant Anemone isn't just about looks. It's a savvy hunter too, using its tentacles to paralyze prey before guiding it to its mouth. A giant beauty with a dash of danger, that's our Condylactis gigantea for you!![]()
