Open Water Sessions

We will be using a boat for all of the ocean sessions. The cost of the boat is about $60/day.

Equipment Requirements

• Mask, fins and snorkel – Preferably low volume mask and long blade fins or mono fin.
• Wetsuit with gloves and boots – 3mm freediving suit is required for pool and ocean sessions. Good freediving suit with attached hood is perfect. If your hood is not attached please bring a seperate one.
• Weights and weight belt – Having a rubber weight belt with an assortment of smaller weights to adjust for proper buoyancy.
• Depth and/or timing device – A waterproof watch at the very least, better yet a freediving computer is perfect.

Check out general gear recommendations.

Don’t worry about lines, floats and those sorts of things, we’ll bring that. We also travel with an assortment of freediving computers for you to try out as well. Along with all of this we’ll video your clinic so you can review each day, your skills in the water as they improve.
