* We offer courses year round, but due to unpredictable ocean conditions through the months of November - December we will be offering more 1-day classroom and pool sessions with tentative ocean days based on ocean conditions!
Students enrolled in a pool only course will have a guaranteed spot on boat if ocean conditions are conducive to training during a course weekend. The cost of the ocean session is $130.
If you have any questions regarding the courses contact our Training Director, Matthew Pasa at Info@teachmetofreedive.com.

1. Mask – A low volume freediving mask is recommended.
2. Fins – Long blade freediving fins recommended.
3. Snorkel – A simple J-tube snorkel will be best.
4. Wetsuit – A 3mm is suitable year round in Florida. Open cell is preferable. A 1mm suit is the minimum requirement.
5. Weights – Small weights (1-2 lbs) are better to adjust your buoyancy and also create less drag. Coated weights are recommended, but uncoated weights are permitted.
6. Weight Belt– A rubber weight belt is necessary. Nylon weight belts are not permitted.
7. Freediving Computer – You will need a waterproof timing device. We highly recommend a freediving computer. The Aeris F.10, SporaSub SP1, and Beuchat Mundial are some of the best!
Private classes are scheduled to meet the needs of those in the class. They are perfect for yacht owners and crew, a business team building weekend, family fun weekend, etc. Our instructors can also travel based on availability.

Prices will vary when instructors have to travel, but we are happy to go wherever the diving leads!
