General
If scuba diving is not for you, or if you are already a diver who wants to explore the underwater world - and yourself - without scuba equipment, you should seriously consider the PADI Freediver Course! Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. Freediving allows you to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, staying as long as your breath allows. Taking the PADI Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.
During the course, you will learn about the principles of freediving through theory sessions. In the pool, you will learn breath hold techniques as well as static and apnea. The goal is to be able to hold your breath for 90 seconds in the pool and swim 25 metres (horizontally). It sounds like a lot, but with the right technique, you might find that it comes easier to you than you might think.
In the ocean, you will practice free immersion and constant weight freedives plus proper buddy procedures. The goal is to have you freedive comfortably to a depth of 10 to 16 meters.
Taking the PADI Freediver Course on Koh Tao, will provide you the perfect setting. The ocean is warm, the island is beautiful, the vibe is fantastic, and the dive center is highly professional. We guarantee you a good experience!
Location – Sairee Beach
Koh Tao in general is packed with different bays and beaches that are well worth visiting with your snorkelling gear. The island itself has a great size in terms of exploration, and it is easy to get around on a scooter. However, if you want a young and very vibrant vibe, Sairee Beach is the place to be! The atmosphere is buzzing with hippie happy backpackers hanging out in the cafes, the beach bars and obviously on the beach itself… which is the longest and most popular beach on the island (you’ll see why!)
Your accommodation - private room
Is right next to the dive center, and in the middle of Sairee Beach. Walk out of your room, and within 2 minutes (of walking really slowly) you will be standing on the beach, next to the dive center. Even though you are staying right on Sairee beach, your accommodation is still pulled back from the crowds, securing you your beauty sleep.
Your room
Is a private room with 2 single beds or a double, depending on availability. The room comes with a fan, hot shower and daily cleaning. The room is simple, but clean, comfortable and right where you want it, when you come back from diving and in need of a good nap!
You can upgrade to A/C as a supplement
