The tiny island of Koh Tao, Thailand is one of the best places in the world to start your freediving! And here are several reasons why:
- warm and calm water throughout the whole year (no big current or no big waves)
- depth range between 5 and 45 meters within a 5-10 minute boat drive
- relaxing atmosphere in a tropical paradise
And we guarantee that you will have an unforgettable experience with Kaizen Freediving because safety, quality, and happiness of our students are the main priorities!
Freediving Courses Guidelines:
The Discover Freediving course is an introductory program that teaches basic breath-holding skills, equalisation techniques, and fundamental safety procedures in a single day.
The Freediver course is a two-and-a-half-day program that includes theory, two pool sessions, two open-water sessions, and stretching and breathing, aiming to achieve a static breath hold of at least 90 seconds, a dynamic apnea of 25 meters, and a depth between 10 and 16 meters.
The Advanced Freediver course is a three-day program featuring theory, two pool sessions, two open-water sessions, and advanced breathing/stretching sessions, focusing on reaching a 2-minute 30-second breath hold, 50 meters of dynamic apnea, and a depth between 20 and 24 meters.
The Master Freediver course is typically a three- to four-week intensive program consisting of theory, dry training, pool, and open-water sessions, requiring a 3-minute 30-second breath hold, 70 meters of dynamic apnea, and a depth of at least 32 meters.
The Freediving Instructor course focuses on professional teaching skills, session management, and mastery of safety procedures, with a flexible schedule tailored to your needs.
We also provide targeted Training Sessions in both the pool and open water for certified freedivers looking to maintain or improve their skills, as well as relaxed Fun Diving trips on our beautiful local reefs.
Finally, our newest addition is the Mermaid Courses, where participants learn specialised dolphin-kick techniques to swim gracefully with a tail while building confidence and breath-hold comfort in the water.
We have all the necessary facilities for freediving – AC classes, three swimming pools, and of course our special freediving boat!
