    DESCRIPTION

    Freediving is about inward power, discipline & control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.

    To enroll in a PADI Freediver Course you must be at least 15 years old. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

    We do recommend coming into the shop before your pool session to get fitted for a mask, snorkel & fins to take into the ocean to get familiar with gear to get the most out of the course.

    Before Pool Session - eLearning

    Saturday - Pool Sessions in San Juan Capistrano or Irvine 

    Sunday - Ocean Sessions at Catalina Island!

    Younger than 15?

    • 12-year olds and older can enroll in the PADI Basic Freediver Course
    • 8 years olds and older can enroll in the PADI Skin Diver Course
