Through our SSI Freediving Instructors we offer the following courses out of Zanzibar

1. SSI Level 1 Freediving

This course is the first step to learning safe freediving (and spearfishing for those who want to progress into that sport) and the basic techniques of breath-holding, relaxation, correct breathing, streamlining, proper finning and posture under water. The course is run over two days that include theory, confined water and open water sessions with the objective of ensuring that by the end of the course you are able to freedive to below 10 metres. Successful completion of the course will be rewarded with SSI certification. Duration – 2 Days.

2. SSI Level 2 Freediving

Freediving SSI level 2 teaches you more advanced techniques that will allow you to reach deeper depths in a comfortable and safe way. Techniques such as free-falling and more efficient equalization methods will save a lot of energy so you can dive deeper while using less oxygen. You will also be taught how to train efficiently on your own and in the absence of access to deep water. The course is run over three days and includes theory, static sessions, confined and open water sessions that by the end of it should successfully have you freediving to 20 meters or more. Successful completion of the course will be rewarded with SSI certification. Duration – 3 Days.

3. SSI Level 3 Freediving

Freediving SSI level 3 is a very advanced course recommended for who are already freediving to 30 or more meters and have trouble equalizing past this depth. In this course you will learn the “Mouthfill” technique and exhale diving which are the key for deep freediving. We also teach you how to coach your buddy during static apnea training and how to plan training sessions efficiently. We will cover mental aspects of freediving and practice more advanced lung stretching techniques and by the end of it, the course aims to have you comfortably freediving below 30 meters. Duration – 4 Days.

For those with time constraints or unsure whether they want to take a full course, we also offer a Half Day Freediving Intro and One Day Freediving courses. We also offer freediving training and breathing for freediving classes.
