Discover Freediving

You will learn the basics of freediving and be able to immediately apply them in the pool, as well as in the ocean here in San Diego and beyond. Numbers aren't the focus for this class, there are no performance requirements or certifications, it's all about discovering your inner dolphin by getting you comfortable in the water, familiar with your natural abilities, and more than anything having fun!

The class is broken up into three sections over a day and a half.

Classroom

Day 1, 9AM - 11:00AM

During this session you will learn how freediving works, and why humans are capable of diving to great depths. You will learn breathing and relaxation techniques, as well as how to clear your ears when you dive.

Pool Session

Day 1, 1PM - 3PM

In this sessions you will become familiar with freediving equipment such as mask snorkel and fins, you will learn how to hold your breath in a relaxed and safe way, and you will practice swimming underwater with long fins. Our freediving instructors understand this might be the first time you've done anything like this, and will tailor the instruction and exercises to your personal needs.

Open Water Session

Day 2, 8AM - 11AM

We will have a shallow dive session starting in about 5-20 feet of water. You will learn how to efficiently start a dive, how to clear your ears, and how to further release your inner dolphin. We can be at the Marine Room or the Mission Bay Jetty where we'll have the chance to see all sorts of underwater life including Turtles, Leopard Sharks, Rays, and all sorts of fish!
