Introduction to Freediving
No bulky tanks, no regulators– just you and the ocean. That’s what Freediving is all about. At Utila Diving Center, we help you to connect more deeply with the ocean and revel in its beauty.
Freediving can be as easy as floating near the surface while snorkelling or as intense as diving deep into the ocean’s depths, all while holding your breath. No matter where you’re starting from or where you want to go, we’re here to guide you through it all.
For us, Freediving is more than just holding your breath– it's about freedom, and pushing the limits of your mind and body!

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING
The PADI Freediver course contains three phases:
- Knowledge Development
- Confined Water Sessions
- Open Water Sessions
Knowledge Development
During knowledge development you learn about how your body reacts to breathholding and how water pressure affects you as you dive down. You also learn about freediving equipment, important safety rules and buddy procedures.
Confined Water Sessions
In confined water, right off our dock, you learn breathing techniques, then practice breathholds while floating (static apnea) and while swimming (dynamic apnea). You also practice basic rescue techniques and learn your role as a buddy.
Open Water Sessions
During at least two open water sessions, you practice diving down while breathholding, either by pulling yourself along a line (free immersion) or duck diving head first while following a line (constant weight). You learn to gradually increase your depths by relaxing and enjoying each dive. Rescue practice is another key part of the open water sessions.
