Introduction to Freediving

Freediving is a form of underwater diving that relies on breath-holding rather than the use of breathing apparatus like scuba diving. It allows divers to explore the underwater world in a serene and natural way. At Dive College Lanzarote, we offer the PADI Freediver Course to help you begin your journey into this fascinating sport.

What You Will Learn

Our PADI Freediver Course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of freediving. The course covers:

  • Breath-hold techniques
  • Safety procedures
  • Freediving equipment
  • Proper body positioning and diving techniques

Course Structure

The PADI Freediver Course is structured into three main phases:

  1. Knowledge Development: Learn the basic principles of freediving through independent online study
