Apnoe (Freediving)

The freediving course at Correct Diving runs under I.R.T.D.A. and certifies graduates as IRTDA Apnoe Diver Level 1. It's offered at the Glavotok base on Krk — the same bay where the scuba training happens, with direct access to the house reef's walls without needing a boat.

The theoretical focus is on breathing techniques, dive medicine specific to breath-hold diving, and the safety requirements that separate freediving from recreational snorkeling — blackout management in particular. The history and philosophy of apnea are part of the curriculum too, which makes it a broader programme than a purely technical course.

Practical sessions work through descent and swimming techniques, distance swims, and depth attempts. The course is also explicitly recommended as supplementary training for experienced scuba divers — the breath control and body awareness carry over into better buoyancy and air consumption underwater.

No prior experience required. The bay at Glavotok is sheltered enough for controlled depth attempts, and the clear Adriatic water around Krk gives good visibility for monitoring from the surface. The course is one of several options that make this base interesting for divers who want something beyond standard recreational certification.
