Our safety workshop is designed for the experienced Freedivers (minimum certification level PADI Advanced Freediver or equivalent) who want to participate in Depth Training at Kaizen Freediving school (Koh Tao, Thailand). The goal is to prepare participants to act as safety divers for each other.
The workshop includes both a theory session and an open-water session. The theory portion covers risk management in the open water freediving, how to perform safety checks, and rescue procedures for both LMC (Loss of Motor Control) and Blackout.
The open-water session, led by a freediving instructor, focuses on practical safety and rescue skills. After a warm-up, participants will practice a variety of exercises, which may include:
- Safety from the surface.
- Escorting a diver during their ascent on the last 10 meters.
- Performing an unexpected rescue from a shallow depth (no more than 5 meters).
- Rescue from 15 meters.
- Rescue from 10 meters, after waiting 30 seconds at the end of the line.
- Pulling a diver to the surface from a shallow depth (no more than 10 meters).
- Other exercises can help to increase safety during the depth training.
