Two days of structured breath-hold training and guided deep dives starting from Koh Chang. This PADI-aligned advanced freediver course pushes depths to 16–24 m while polishing technique, safety and longer static/dynamic times.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the dive boat and the Andaman-tinged water greets you like a cool, waiting breath. Sunlight threads through the surface; below, slopes of coral and bommies fall away into blue that feels like a small universe. This two-day advanced freediving course launched from Koh Chang pushes athletes from comfortable shallow dives into controlled, deeper experiences—target depths between 16 and 24 meters—where encounters with reef life happen in tighter, quieter frames.
Difficulty
challenging
Duration
2 days
Fitness Level
Should have solid aerobic fitness, comfortable with basic freediving and repeated breath-hold work; no recent respiratory issues.
Wildlife
History
Koh Chang has long been a fishing and coconut-farming island; tourism grew later, but many communities still operate small-scale fisheries and wooden piers.
Conservation
Many dive operators emphasize reef-safe sunscreen and no-touch policies; be prepared to follow briefings and expect possible national park rules to protect coral and marine life.
Reserve your spot on the Freediver advanced (start at Koh Chang) today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Pre-screen medically
Disclose any respiratory or cardiovascular issues before booking and get medical clearance if recommended; freediving stresses breath-hold physiology.
Hydrate and rest
Drink plenty of water and prioritize sleep the night before—dehydration and fatigue reduce breath-hold performance and increase risk.
Bring low-volume mask
A low-volume freediving mask reduces equalization effort and improves comfort at depth.
Know park fees
If diving sites fall inside Mu Ko Chang National Park, expect a separate entry fee—carry cash for on-site payments.
Low-volume freediving mask
Reduces airspace for easier equalization and clearer vision at depth.
Long-blade freediving fins
Efficient propulsion at depth, conserving oxygen during descent and ascent.
Freediving wetsuit (1–3 mm) or neoprene top
Provides thermal comfort during surface intervals without restricting movement.
Freediving computer or depth watch
Tracks depth and surface intervals to manage training progress and safety.
