Develop as a PADI Advanced Freediver
Develop as an advanced freediver on this second level freediving course for up to eight students.
The PADI Advanced Freediver course is for freedivers holding a level one certification. Learn at your own pace and advance more quickly. WaterMaarq freediving courses take you deeper the more comfortable you become.
The PADI Advanced Freediver course is designed to fulfil your personal need to refine and improve your freediving skills, allowing you to progress slowly while learning how your body performs during apnea. Achieving a new freediving time or reaching a new depth is an incredible feeling. It satisfies that very personal desire to do your best and be proud of what you can accomplish.
Furthering your breath-hold awareness and relaxation in the classroom and pool, you’ll learn advanced freedive techniques that will take your existing capabilities further. Then when your pool training is complete, you may begin your open water depth training. Completing a minimum of two certification training dives, you’ll become a PADI Advanced Freediver as you dive deeper than 20 meters comfortably and easily.
To enrol in a PADI Advanced Freediver course you must be at least 15 years old and have a PADI Freediver certification (or a qualifying level one certification from another freediver organisation).
