Master Freediver

The Master Course is a full immersion into the lifestyle of a freediver. During this course, you will train full time incorporating depth, dry, and pool exercises in your daily routine. You will witness your physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual bodies transform quickly as you become fully aquatic.

About the Course:

The course is divided into “wet days” and “dry days”. Each week there will be 4 wet days where we will dive and work in the water on technique, different styles in freediving, comparing rescue pressures, and more.
On a dry day, there will be dry theory/practice classes and one day a week will be day off for rest.
In addition, every morning the masters begin a morning routine designed to improve their abilities.

Daily morning training:

A daily routine that will be upgraded once a week according to the progress of each diver includes:

  • Stretching
  • Breathing / Pranayama exercises
  • Exercises to increase lung volume
