Freediving Courses
Learn to FreediveWaterMaarq certification freediving courses are the foundation to becoming a Freediver.
The certification courses are designed to work in levels, each building upon the last. Following the Freediver Basic, there are three main course levels, which develop your abilities, knowledge and technique to safely and effectively freedive deeper and for longer on one breath.
Learning – You’re In Control
Courses feature the latest self-paced learning systems, which combine technology, practical dry training exercises and professional in-water instruction. Once your theory training is complete, you are ready for your first pool training sessions. Once the foundation pool skills are in place, then it’s time for freediving in the open water!

WaterMaarq Freediving provides you with unequalled freediving development. Founder Marlon Quinn trained under the world’s best freedivers, world and national champions to develop his craft. A qualified trainer (CERT IV TAE), he’s developed as a freediving instructor under AIDA, Apnea Academy, Apnea International, AUSI and PADI freediving certification systems.
At WaterMaarq, you’ll be learning with professionals with a deep knowledge base of course content and world-class materials delivered to you in a safe, structured and fun learning environment.
