No Experience Required

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.

Adventure Tips

Pre-screen medically

Disclose any respiratory or cardiovascular issues before booking and get medical clearance if recommended; freediving stresses breath-hold physiology.

essential

Hydrate and rest

Drink plenty of water and prioritize sleep the night before—dehydration and fatigue reduce breath-hold performance and increase risk.

warning

Bring low-volume mask

A low-volume freediving mask reduces equalization effort and improves comfort at depth.

info

Know park fees

If diving sites fall inside Mu Ko Chang National Park, expect a separate entry fee—carry cash for on-site payments.
