Freediver

The SSI Freediver course at Apnea Natura is your next step to safely and efficiently explore depths between 10 and 20 meters. This program focuses on mastering essential breathing, relaxation, and equalization techniques crucial for extending your breath-hold and comfort during descent. You will learn to understand your body's physiological responses to freediving, allowing you to push your personal limits with confidence. The course structure is highly flexible, designed for individual progression. You can begin at any time and have up to a year to complete your certification, with personalized training schedules that can be adapted to your home study, pool sessions, and open water dives.

Apnea Natura offers a blended learning approach, combining online theory modules through the SSI platform with in-person instruction. This includes dedicated sessions for stretching, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to enhance your performance. Two pool sessions are scheduled to refine static and dynamic apnea skills, building the foundation for open water success. Crucially, the certification requires a minimum of two sea sessions.
