This beginner-friendly session is led by SSI certified freediving instructor (Praveen – Underwatermonk) and is designed to help you understand the relationship between breath, body, and water. Freediving is often considered the highest level of comfort in water. At its core, it’s about learning how your body responds underwater, how to stay calm, and how to use your breath efficiently and safely. Through guided exercises on land and in the pool, you’ll build confidence, awareness, and a deeper understanding of how breath and water work together: backed by science. You will get a Try Freediving Certificate (https://www.divessi.com/en/get-certified/freediving/try-freediving) from SSI upon completion of the workshop.
