Advanced Freediver
The Apnea Total Advanced course is designed to build upon your existing skills, master new advanced techniques and take your diving deeper!
The course runs over 3 days. We have a static breathhold workshop on day 1 and then 2hr theory and 2hr water sessions on the following days. During that time we teach exhale dives, Mammalian Dive Response, visualisation, deep diving techniques, breathing practice, dry training, freefall and advanced stretching. You can reach up to 30m in this course.
