SSI Freediver

Go beyond the surface. Explore on a single breath.

The SSI Freediver program builds on the fundamentals and develops the skills you need to explore the underwater world with a qualified buddy.

Learn to manage your breathing and relaxation, improve your movement underwater, develop your equalisation techniques, and understand how to plan and execute freediving sessions safely.

From your first controlled descent to discovering the sensation of freefall, this course is about developing technique, awareness, and confidence not simply going deeper.
