We'll begin with a theory session covering the basic principles of freediving and safety rules. We'll discuss topics such as hydrostatic pressure, the effects of depth on the body, and oxygen management. Next, we'll talk about breathing techniques and practice various exercises to enhance your relaxation. Then, we'll head out to sea to practice these exercises in the water for your first dive!
A second open water session is planned to practice additional exercises to help you dive deeper! Your instructor will be with you every time you dive. We'll help you achieve the goals of Level 1.
Finally, you will have two final sessions in the pool: indeed, the disciplines of freediving in the pool are different from those in the sea and we will teach you the correct ways to practice static and dynamic freediving.
