PADI Basic Freediving with Nemo Diving Center
Freediving is descending underwater without the use of oxygen tanks or other breathing apparatus; all you need is a mask, a snorkel, and fins. By signing up to our Basic Freediving lessons, you get to safely learn freediving essentials from world-class instructors.
The PADI Basic Freediver is a subset of the PADI Freediver and consists of two main parts. The first part is knowledge development where you can study freediving principles independently and in the conform of your home through eLearning lessons. The second part is applying what you learned through confined water sessions. Our PADI-certified instructors will accompany you to calm confined waters of Fujairah where you can practice breath-holding techniques including static (90 seconds goal) and dynamic apnea (target of 25 metres/80 feet).
Basic Freediving pre-requisites
Interested participants should:
- be at least 12 years old
- be in good health
- submit the PADI Medical History Form regarding medical conditions
- pass a swimming and fitness assessment
