Junior Freediving and Spearfishing Course Structure
Day 1: Pool & Theory Session
The first day is all about building a solid foundation. We start with theory, where your child will learn about the principles of freediving, safety protocols, and the importance of proper technique. This is followed by practical training in the pool, allowing them to practice what they’ve learned in a safe environment.
Day 2: Open Water Session
On the second day, your child will take what they’ve learned to the open water. Under the guidance of our experienced instructors, they’ll have the chance to explore and practice in a real-world setting, applying their skills and gaining confidence in the ocean.
