Ages 18+ • 2 Day Course
Arrive hydrated and rested
Dehydration and poor sleep reduce breath‑hold ability—drink water and get a good night’s rest before each day.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Protect coral and marine life by choosing sunscreen labeled reef-safe; apply well before water entry.
Practice equalization on land
Warm up equalization techniques before pool time to make open-water descents smoother and safer.
Buddy checks every session
Always perform a full buddy check and agree on surface signals before any pool or ocean dive.
Mask
A low-volume mask improves equalization and reduces drag underwater.
Fins
Long, flexible freediving fins for efficient propulsion and reduced energy use.
Snorkel
A simple snorkel helps surface breathing practice and conserves energy between dives.
Weight belt
A weight belt allows proper trim and neutral buoyancy for relaxed descents.
