Academic
The PADI Advanced Freediver course consists of three main phases:

- Confined water session to learn stretching and relaxation techniques as well as refine static and dynamic apnea. Goal – static apnea of 2 minutes, 30 seconds (2 minutes for freedivers younger than 18) and dynamic apnea of 50 meters/165 feet (40 meters/130 feet for freedivers younger than 18)
- Open water sessions to practice deeper free immersion and constant weight freedive's, along with additional buddy procedures and rescue techniques. Goal – constant weight freedive of 20 meters/66 feet (15 meters/50 feet for freedivers younger than 18)
Equipment
You need to have a freediving mask, snorkel, bi fins, wetsuit and weight belt. Your instructor may allow you to use mono fins. You’ll also need a surface signaling device and a freediving computer (or depth gauge and timer).
