Blueback Learn to Freedive Short Course

from $350 per person 

Available in two formats:​

  • 2-day standard course

  • 1-day intensive course

The Learn to Freedive Short Course is your first step into the world of breath-hold diving — a compact introduction to freediving, our signature way. We focus on the foundations: relaxation, breath awareness, and smooth, efficient movement in water, guided by our own printed freediving manual.

 

Training takes place in the Blueback studio as well as a calm, confined-water setting, so you can develop safe, confident technique without the pressure of open-water depth.

 

You’ll learn how to breath-hold, and move like a freediver through guided practice for beginners in static and dynamic apnea in the pool. Open to anyone 12 years and older with confident swimming ability and good health. 

 

Ready to take these skills into the ocean when you're done? The Learn to Freedive Program adds open-water training on a line.

  • Fundamental freediving principles: breathing cycle, relaxation, effects of pressure, and safe buddy practices.

  • Confined‑water skills: breath‑hold techniques, static apnea, and dynamic apnea with streamlined body position and efficient finning.

  • Techniques to improve mindfulness; how to reduce tension, quieten the mind and listen to the body.

  • Intro to equipment selection and weight system; how to prepare and care for gear.
