Upcoming Course Dates

6 - 20 December

Prerequisites

  • Applicants must be certified with a minimum of Level 3 (or equivalent)

  • Hold a current First Aid/CPR/O2 qualification (can be done here with Freedive Gili).

It’s important to familiarise yourself with all the Level 1 and 2 theory and course requirements before commencing the course (you will be learning how to teach the content, not re-learning the content).

Likewise, you should feel comfortable reaching the performance requirements before the course begins. We will not have time to train for the requirements, so we highly recommend arriving at least a week in advance if possible to dive with us and to get comfortable in the water, so you can start the IC feeling relaxed and prepared.

requirements

Candidates must pass the following during the course:

  • Written exams

  • Teaching presentations (theory, open water & pool)

Performance Requirements

  • 800m swim (using mask, snorkel, and fins with a time limit of 15 minutes)

  • 400m swim (without fins, snorkel or buoyancy devices)

  • 15 minutes water treading

  • 85m DYNB

  • 4 min STA

  • 40m CWTB

  • Rescue simulation from 20m hang

To be a Freediving professional requires maturity, endurance and enthusiasm along with patience and empathy.

MASTER PROGRAM +

LEVEL 1-2 INSTRUCTOR COURSE

We highly recommend all of our Instructor Candidates begin either with the Master Program or at least a week of training before the Instructor Course.

The Instructor course is not a training camp with time to work on your own diving, you’ll be practicing the skills you will use as a teacher, so it is worth investing time to refine your own diving before commencing. This will help familiarise you with our centre, the environment and your fellow students, and give you time to train for your performance requirements, so that you can begin your Instructor Course feeling prepared and relaxed.
