About the Course

Your first step in discovering why freediving has become a popular way to explore beneath the waves. No prior freediving experience is required.

Freediving is about inner strength, discipline, and self-control. If you've always wanted to explore the underwater world in silence, on your own terms, and stay down as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step in understanding why freediving has become such a beloved form of underwater exploration.

To enroll in the PADI Freediver course, you must:

Be at least 12 years old
Have basic swimming skills and be in good physical health
No prior experience in snorkeling or freediving is required

If you can't swim, inform your instructor so a separate swimming program can be arranged before starting the course.

Under 12 years old? Children aged 8 and above can enroll in the PADI Advanced Snorkeler Course.

Getting Started

Contact your local freediving center or a certified freediving instructor and get access to the PADI Freediver eLearning material. This interactive tool gives you the essential knowledge to dive safely and allows you to study at your own pace. Your PADI Freediving Instructor will monitor your progress and ensure you understand key freediving concepts.
