No cylinders, just lungs!
Freediving is about inner strength, discipline and control. Gliding through the water on one single breath. Streamlined, without bulky dive gear, no bubbles, no sound. Freediving is a lifestyle, not something you will learn in one and a half days and never have to practice again.
Practice makes perfect. The Divection freediver course is 3 evenings of 1,5 hour inwater at the pool. This is longer than most other dive centers.
Especially with beginner freediver courses it is very important to learn the right techniques and procedures from the start. They have to become senond nature. You should not have to think about them. Only then you can start training without an instructor and practice to perfect your skills.
To encourage you to do so, our course price includes 6 weeks* (= 12 evenings pool access) of freedive team membership.
*those 6 weeks start straight after your course
Break boundaries, explore your personal limits and capabilies of your body!
The PADI Freediver Course The course consists of: 3 Theory lessons / briefings, self study with the PADI Freediver app and our online knowledge reviews. 3 Pool training sessions, with theory before the pool training – We will take video footage of your dynamic freedive, so you can better understand our feedback on your streamline, body position and fin technique
Deep Water training. This will be done in a deep pool in the Netherlands in winter times or in one of the deep lakes around Amsterdam in summer.
Freediving Team Divection has a Freediving team that trains every Monday evening in Zuiderbad and every Wednesday evening in the De Mirandabad pool. Cost is 315 euro per calender year if you were a member before (incl. our freedive students) If you were trained elsewhere, you will first join a freediving Skills review evening and the initial year costs is 359 euro.
You train with the people you meet. There is no trainer. Usually there are some experienced Freedivers (instructors) that can help you with your training. We have a WhatsApp group and members meet up for freediving in Open Water or deep pools like Todi and Dive4life.
