APNEA

Freediving Level 1

Would you like to take your first freediving course?

The SSI Apnea Level 1 is the first level of Apnea. In this introductory course you will learn in a dynamic and safe way all the basic concepts about this sport, we will talk about breathing and relaxation techniques, rescue, finning, equalization and much more. Upon successful completion of the course, you will be able to descend between 10 and 20 meters, holding your breath for up to several minutes. The combination of personalized training with theoretical and practical sessions in the water, guarantees that you will have the necessary skills and experience to freedive comfortably and safely underwater.

This course consists of 2 parts: A theoretical part that is carried out online and a practical part that will take place at our facilities and at the sea.

Theoretical part

With our Online + Face-to-face modality, it will allow you to advance at your own pace and resolve doubts with your instructor. The final evaluation of this part will be carried out with a simple theoretical exam before finishing the practical training.

Practical part

It consists of 5 sessions divided in 2 days, in which exercises and skills are practiced and performed so you can achieve freediving safely and with confidence, always within your personal and certification limits.

Freediving Level 2

Would you like to refine and expand your skills as a freediver?

Take it to the next level! Experience the deep peace of a “freefall” and the buzz of completing a deep dive. The SSI Freediving Level 2 course will equip you with further knowledge of the mammalian dive reflex and how to initiate the best response for Freediving. You will learn advanced equalization techniques, work on longer breath-holds, understand how to use your change in buoyancy during a dive to be more efficient on deeper dives, learn new training methods, and develop the skills necessary to freedive beyond 20m to depths of up to 30 meters.

The program has a minimum duration of 3 days, with a maximum of 2 training sessions per day.

Freediving Level 3

Would you like to acquire advanced level knowledge and skills in freediving?

The SSI level 3 is a very advanced course recommended for freedivers who are already freediving to 30+ meters and have trouble equalizing past this depth. In this course you will learn the “Mouthfill” technique and exhale diving which are the key for deep freediving. We also teach you how to coach your buddy during static apnea training and how to plan training sessions efficiently. We will cover mental aspects of freediving and practice more advanced lung stretching techniques.
