With the recent development of freediving as an activity for the masses, We Freedive Education places a strong emphasis on the quality of your education over the ease of certification. Our groups are small - we never have more than four students per instructor - Our courses add at least one extra day of training, and we put in the extra effort, spend that extra hour to make sure you get as much from our course as you can.
